Is it valid to cite the action of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) as evidence when he brought his daughter to 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with both of them) so that he could look at her regarding his proposal to her?

The questioner : A woman going to a man... this is cited as evidence, O Shaykh... 'Ali ibn Abi Talib when he sent his daughter to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab.
The Shaykh : Yes, it may be cited as evidence, but it was not the custom among them. These are rare cases, because the Caliph (may Allah be pleased with him) is not like others.
