Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh!
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : I say, O Shaykh, regarding the actions of an unauthorized person, is it permissible for a person to act, for example, in private matters?
The Shaykh : Hm? How?
The questioner : Such as proposing a marriage. A person goes to a house and says: I want to propose your daughter to so-and-so. Is it permissible for him to act in this manner?
The Shaykh : Very well, may Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : Without the knowledge of the one being proposed to!
The Shaykh : Without the knowledge of the one being proposed to?
The questioner : Yes, I do.
The Shaykh : Very well, and he goes to him and says: I have proposed so-and-so to you. There is nothing wrong with that, but there is a problem with this if the one being proposed to refuses, because it will cause distress to the woman being proposed and her family?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is a problem. Therefore, one should not proceed with such an action unless he has first taken the opinion of the one being proposed to.
