Question

What is the permissibility of a man to see a woman without hijaab (meaning head scarf) for the purpose of marriage? According to which Imam are you allowed?

Answer

As long as the hair is covered entirely and he is seriously contemplating in marrying her, he may see her once.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
