He did the marriage contract with a woman and saw her naked on camera, then they got divorced. What must he do?

Question: 266184

I got married to a woman and did not consummate the marriage with her, but I used to be in touch with her on my mobile phone, and I saw her naked through the mobile phone camera, then I divorced her before consummating the marriage with her. Does she have to observe ‘iddah and is she entitled to the mahr in full?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

I put this question to our shaykh, ‘Abd ar-Rahman al-Barrak (may Allah preserve him) and he said:

The ruling on khulwah [being alone with the woman], which was mentioned by the jurists, does not come into effect as a result of this looking, because the condition of khulwah is that the man should be alone with the woman in a place in which it is possible for him to have intercourse with her. End quote.

Please see also the answer the question no. 118557 .

And Allah knows best.
