Question:
He says: What is permissible for a suitor to see of the woman he intends to marry? And is it permissible for the one who has received a promise of marriage from the woman's guardian to speak with her on the telephone if he is in one country and she is in another?
Answer:
Regarding speaking on the telephone, if her guardian has given permission, there is nothing wrong with it. If her guardian has permitted you to speak with her, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if he has not given permission, do not speak with her, because harm may result. If he knows that you are speaking with her but is unaware of the details, he may form a bad impression. It is necessary to go through the guardian. As for what he looks at of her, it is what does not lead him to desire her: he looks at her face, her hands, and her hair, provided it does not lead him to desire her. This is the extent of what the suitor is permitted to look at. Yes.
