The Ruling on a Prospective Groom Looking at His Fiancée and Sending Someone to Look at Her
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Ali says: Is it permissible for a suitor to see his fiancée, or to send one of his close relatives, such as his sisters, to look at her?
Answer:
Both matters are permissible. If he is able to see her in the presence of her guardian, without being alone with her, there is no harm. If he is not able to do so and sends a woman he trusts to look at her and report back to him, there is no harm in that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
