Father of the boy seeing the girl before his son marries her
Question
Is this genuine that for nikaah, first the father and mother of the boy should go and see the bride followed by the sister/sisters and then the boy should go and see the girl for nikaah. This seems as the different rounds of selection.
Answer
It is not permissible for the father of the boy to see the girl before his son marries her. Hence, this should be avoided.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
