Question:
A questioner says: A man wants to marry a woman and get to know her. He visited her at her home in an empty room, and the door remained open while her mahram relatives were in the house. Is this action permissible?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to be alone with her before he has contracted the marriage. He must not be alone with her. There must be someone present with them. No man is to be alone with a woman except that the third among them is Satan. Yes.
