Questions and Answers about Islamic Veil

Both of them رَحِمَهُمَا الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی cried until they reached Makka-tul-Mukarramaĥ. After completing awāf and Sa’ī Sayyidunā Sulaymān Bin Yasār عَـلَـیۡهِ رَحۡـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـغَـفَّـار sat in the aīm of the Ka’baĥ with his shawl wrapped around his knees. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه dozed off and had a dream, in which he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه saw an incredibly handsome personage who was of considerable height and was dressed in beautiful attire. Sayyidunā Sulaymān Bin Yasār عَـلَـیۡهِ رَحۡـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـغَـفَّـار asked, ‘Who are you?’ He answered, ‘I am (the Prophet of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ) Yūsuf.’ He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, ‘O Prophet of Allah (عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام) your story with Zulaykhā is very strange.’ He عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام replied, ‘Your incident at Abwā’ with that Bedouin woman is even stranger.’

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!

اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم

Do you see! Sayyidunā Sulaymān Bin Yasār عَـلَـیۡهِ رَحۡـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـغَـفَّـار rejected a Burqa’-wearing female Bedouin who had herself come to seduce him. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه even burst out crying due to fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, as a result of which Sayyidunā Yūsuf عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام visited him in his dream to encourage him. Anyhow, goodness of both worlds lies in avoiding the devil’s tempting trap. Even if a man or woman seduces anyone, and tempts him/her to sin a thousand times, no matter what happens, one should save himself from satanic deception and should reap rich rewards.

Question: If two individuals fall in love with each other, and commit sins such as seeing each other etc., but cannot marry, then what should they do?
