Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to look at a woman's picture before proposing to her?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible except for one who has proposed to a woman and they have accepted his proposal. Then he may look at her, looking at what he desires in her in the presence of her family. He does not seclude himself with her; rather, he looks at what he desires in her in the presence of her family. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted this, saying: If he is able to look at her, let him do so. This is after the acceptance or reassurance regarding you from her family. As for before the proposal, no, do not look at her. Yes.
