Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question. The second question is: Is it permissible for a man to propose to a woman who is already the subject of another proposal?
Answer:
No, this is forbidden. If a man knows that someone has proposed to a woman, it is not permissible for him to propose to her. He should not propose over his brother's proposal; this is not permissible. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it, because it is a right of the first suitor, unless the first suitor withdraws. If he withdraws, then the other man may proceed. Yes.
