Question
What is the ruling on a woman who smiles in front of a non-mahram man, but without showing her teeth or making any sound?.
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:
It is haraam for a woman to uncover her face or to smile at a non-mahram man, because of the evil to which that may lead.
And Allaah is the Source of strength.
