أحسن الله إليك Apologies for going into details but when it comes to a woman showing herself to a potential for marriage- is she supposed to wear a dress which has no designs? Eg- Can she wear a black dress with pink floral design and wear earrings if she has a habit of wearing them?

Yes, you can. Imam Ibn Baz and others among the people of ilm (knowledge) have said that if it is serious, then he can look at her and she can look at him so that they are actually convinced before they go on with the marriage. They can look at her: 1. Hands 2. Face 3. Head 4. Hair 5. Feet Some of the scholars have even said she can show more than that. You can look into the fatwa of the people of knowledge. However, of course, we always have to maintain our modesty and our respect, and we only show what is necessary. For example, if he asks to see you with your hair out, this is allowed according to the fatwa of Imam Bin Baz and Imam bin Uthaymeen and others among the people of knowledge.
