What is the prescribed limit for what must be seen of the woman to be married?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the prescribed limit for what the suitor sees of the woman he intends to marry, and is he permitted to see her more than once?

Answer:
He sees what he desires in marrying her, by looking at her face and her hands. He looks at her face and her hands without seclusion; it must be in the presence of her mahram (a relative one may not marry). It must be in the presence of her mahram, and he must not be alone with her. Yes.
