Answer 1

Waalykum assalam,

According to Grand Ayatollah Sayyid al-Khamenei (may the Almighty prolong his life):
It is not permissible, based on obligatory precaution, for a foreign man to look inside of a woman’s mouth. However, looking at the rest of the internal parts is permissible if it does not result in corruption.

According to Grand Ayatollah Sayyid al-Sistani (may the Almighty prolong his life):
It is not permissible, based on obligatory precaution, except in cases of necessity.

May the Almighty grant you tawfeeq in all of your affairs.
