The questioner:
He also asks: What is permissible for the suitor toward the woman he intends to marry from the perspective of the pure, upright Shari'ah?

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
If he proposes to her, she should be present and wearing her hijab, and he may speak to her and ask her questions; there is nothing wrong with that. If her presence is not possible, he should seek two witnesses to her consent. This matter is easy. Yes.
