Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A young man proposed to a girl to her father, and her father prefers to marry her to someone more suitable than him. So he directed the more suitable one to propose, because he cannot reject the first one. The question is: Is it permissible for the one who was directed to propose to this girl, or does he fall under the ruling of proposing to a woman who is already under proposal?
Answer:
He falls under the ruling of proposing to a woman who is already under proposal. He should be patient until she is married off or the proposal is rejected. He should not propose while knowing that the proposal is still valid. He does not propose to his brother’s proposed girl until she is married off or the proposal is rejected. Yes.
