Your welcome

I am confused.

If I never saw her face :

Then how do I know if she's black, white or yellow ?

If she's ugly, if she's beautiful ?

If she's disfigured ?

Am I supposed to never see her face until the day of marriage ?

How do I know which one to pick if I never saw their faces ?

They all look the same.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

"A man marries a woman for four reasons: for her property, for her rank, for her beauty, and for her religion (and character). So marry the one who is best in the religion and character and prosper".

( Marriage quotation from Bukhari and Muslim)

How do I know if she's good in religion or if she has a good character if I never had any type of interaction with her ?



Am I supposed to only have the choice to marry a cousin by a forced marriage ?

The Prophet (pbuh) who is the best example married someone outside his tribe.



Let's say I should wait until I meet her parents and only then I can see her face.

Then if I eventually refuse to marry her, it's a shame for her and for me.

How many people's home will I visit until finding the right one ?



I'm not going to spend 60 years of my life with someone if I never saw her face or never talked with her before marrying her.



My guess is that the "proper Islamic hijab" is neither the picture on the right nor the picture on the left but something in between.

(I am talking about the face, the body should of course be like the picture in the right)

The more a girl is hidden the nicer she looks. The more she expose herself the worse she looks. It means her beauty is in her Hijab.

the prophet pbuh did not suggest that men should marry women for their looks or property. He said men do marry for those reasons. The marry those who will help you prosper part was focusing on the latter part which mentions religion and character.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to see the face of someone you are to be spending the rest of your life with. It's not appropriate that you refuse a marriage because of the way someone's face might look but is understandable.

Where in the quran is it mentioned that the proper way to wear a hijab is by covering your entire face? Please show that to me.....

We are not talking about selecting girls for life. We are talking about a general rule for the hijab. But don't know why girls abruptly jump into such discussions.

How is that not appropriate ?

Accepting a marriage even if her face doesn't please me is the appropriate thing to do ?

The girls look good in the 'improper' one. the saudi style shown as 'proper' is a joke.

When you Islamist started your hate parade and propaganda since then we started caring....

We Muslims never hate anyone but if you will ridicule the verses of the Quran and hadith then a natural hatred will be shown to you. No compromise on that.

Agreed upon,very appreciate,but the prophet (pbuh) ordered a man when he asked the prophet (pbuh) about marraige,he the beloved Messenger of Allah (pbuh) ordered that person to see her first and then marry her.

yet she has not to cover her face,it is allowed to not cover the face and hands.

But there are some views who say it is a must but that is not proven.

She is allowed to cover her face,but it is not fardh upon her.
