A woman proposed to by her brother

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, a man proposed to a woman, and he knows that another man had proposed to her, but he does not know whether they accepted him or rejected him. What is his position?

Answer:
If a man proposes to a woman, the second suitor should wait until he knows whether the first was accepted or rejected; because it is forbidden to propose to a woman on whom his brother has already proposed. Yes.
