Refusal of the fiancée to uncover her face for the suitor

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I saw the fiancée, and she was wearing a niqab, and she refused to remove what was on her face. Is this action in accordance with the Shari'ah?

Answer:
If the purpose of this looking at her and examining her is the reason, then this is not in accordance with the Shari'ah, meaning wearing the niqab on her face.
