The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This person is seeking your advice on a matter. He says: One of the honorable men invited me to his home, and he surprised me by saying he wants me to be the husband of his only daughter.
The Shaykh:
I want.
The questioner:
He wants me to be the husband.
The Shaykh:
This is a pleasant surprise. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: He brought her to me, and I saw her, and I was pleased with her. He asks: Is this method correct according to the Shari'ah? And should I proceed with this matter?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that. We say there is nothing wrong with that, and this is good: that he is proposing for his daughter and that he is showing her to you, because the suitor seeing the prospective bride is permissible or even desirable.
