The Sunnah is that the suitor looks at the woman he intends to marry

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner from the Syrian Republic also says: I have a problem, which is that my hair is short and very distinctive, and it never grows long. A young man proposed to me, and after performing the prayer for guidance (istikharah), I felt at ease with him. I am confused: should I tell him about my hair or not? Or is that an objection to the decree of Allah? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is from the Sunnah that the suitor looks at the woman he intends to marry, looking at what would encourage him and make him desire to marry her. If he looks at you and you show him this matter, there is no harm in that. If he does not look at you, then tell him; tell him about this matter. Yes.
