is it permissible for a man to look at other than the face and hands of the woman that he wishes to propose?
Answer
(Fatwa: 1243/974=H/1430)
No, rather it is unlawful and sin. He is allowed only to have a look at her face and figure etc with modesty. If he wants some additional information, he should enquire it through his relative women.
