Is it permissible for a woman to present herself to a man she sees as suitable for marriage?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman to present herself for marriage to a man she sees as suitable to marry her, or is this specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
This is good. If she is satisfied with his religion and character, she should recommend him. She recommends a person to speak to him about this, whether it is her guardian or someone other than her guardian, or a woman recommends a woman. There is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
