Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is permissible for a suitor to look at in a prospective bride?
The Shaykh:
What he desires in her, such as looking at her face, her hands, and her hair. What he desires in marrying her. Yes.
The questioner:
We say, and is the presence of the legal guardian required? No duration.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for him to be alone with her; the presence of someone who removes the seclusion is necessary. Yes.
