Is it permissible to send one's picture for marriage purposes to another country?

Answer

Most certainly it is not permissible to commit the kabeerah sin of sending a photo even for marriage purposes. Furthermore, photos are deceptive regarding appearance. We are aware of cases where marriages broke up due to having gained a distorted picture of the girl/boy from a photograph.

Besides this, a Muslim should understand that in this dunya he is being subjected to trial by Allah Ta'ala. He will always find himself in a situation of conflict between the Deen and the nafs or the Deen and the dunya. If the dunya conflicts with Allah's Shariah, the Muslim should set aside the dunya without batting an eye.
