Is it permissible in Islamic law to look at a woman before proposing marriage?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
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.
