What is the ruling on a suitor looking at his prospective bride?

The Shaykh : I am surprised. Yes. Indeed. This is a one-time thing. We have no question except the question, even if it is a mistake. No, I say that it is permissible for a man to look at his fiancée, but it is prescribed (mashru') with conditions. The first condition is that he should be confident of her acceptance. The second condition is that he must be determined to marry her. The third condition is that this should not be in a state of seclusion (khalwah). The fourth condition is that the look should not be for the sake of desire. The fifth condition is that we should be safe from the turning of desire. Also. Who can repeat it? And you are the leader. Until now. In our opinion. Yes. You are going, yes. He says: Perhaps he will go out of the time or not go out of the time. And I am here. If Allah wills. Yes.
The first condition is that he should be confident of her acceptance. If he is not confident of her acceptance, then there is no benefit in looking, such as a man who knows that if he proposes to these people, they will not marry him to him for one reason or another. We are not here, and there is no [unclear]. The second is that he must be determined to marry, not that he is choosing, looking at the daughters of people, and then whoever he chooses, he marries, meaning he proposes to her. Rather, he must be determined to intend this woman if she is suitable for him. The third is that this should be without seclusion (khalwah), because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a man to be alone with a woman, except with a [mahram]. And it was intended that this be without desire. If he looks with desire, then it is not permissible, because he has enjoyed desire in one who is not lawful for him. And the fifth is that he should be safe from the turning of desire. If he fears that we see other than [unclear], he fears that although we see the appearance of [unclear], then it is not permissible. And if this last condition is weaker than the one before it.
As for a man calling his fiancée on the phone and conversing with her, it is a great danger, from which fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) is feared, and it is feared that this man who addresses the woman and converses with her takes pleasure in addressing her. And this is not permissible for a man to take pleasure in addressing a woman who is not his wife. For this reason, it is strictly forbidden for a man to converse with his fiancée in all of this, because it leads to this fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Yes. O Shaykh, O Shaykh. And. Yes.
As for looking at a picture of a fiancée, it does not benefit, because the picture changes the reality of the situation, and perhaps the woman beautifies herself when her picture is taken, so a person sees her as one of the most beautiful women, but when the reality is revealed, things become clear. Then the picture has a danger, which is that a person keeps this picture with him, and whoever wants to propose to her, if the look does not enter, whoever wants to propose to her says: Do not take [unclear], what is the picture? So that becomes a cause for [unclear]. It invites you to marry her. Does it indicate that there must be desire, perhaps it will be? This is not required. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say: "Look at her while you desire to marry her," meaning until you marry her, not what invites you to [unclear] her, because the prayer, this person is intended for every word. So what is its [unclear] from what you mention more than the saying of Allah the Exalted: a fornicatress, meaning it does not take place, except on blood or [unclear], so his saying that marrying her is not except from what is in her, such that it harms his [unclear] and he satisfies himself with intercourse with her in that moment which is about some of it. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on a servant girl performing 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) with the people she works for without a mahram (a relative one may not marry)?
