The engagement of a woman with her suitor and seclusion with her

The Shaykh:
As it came in the hadith, he recites the verse from Surat al-Imran, then the verse from Surat al-Nisa, then the verse from al-Ahsa; he recites them in the order they were recited. It is all good, there is nothing wrong with it. This is a sound matter.

The questioner:
That he goes with her to the market.

The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible for him to be with her except with a mahram, or a muharram, or an extra person such as her sister or her mother, or the like.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
He does not seclude himself with her.

The questioner:
That is, he buys her gold or gifts.

The Shaykh:
He does not seclude himself with her, and he does not seclude himself with her.

The questioner:
Does he resist her in the gathering because of her state?

The Shaykh:
With them, for example, what he carried.

The questioner:
Without what is forbidden.

The Shaykh:
If a third person is with him, he does not deceive her mother, nor her sister, nor her maternal aunt.

The questioner:
It is not reported that 'Ali ibn Abi Talib or 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them) revealed the condition of Abu al-Kalthum.

The Shaykh:
It is narrated from him, but its authenticity is not known; is it known to be authentic?

The questioner:
He covers the face and the hands.

The Shaykh:
He covers his face for that, and as for the head, if there is no clothing on the head, it may be necessary to see it.
