and their islamic Background
Praise be to Allah.
The case of a woman getting married again is something
that God has predestinated and is a success granted by Him. This matter could be fulfilled
by: (Doaa) praying to Allah to provide her with another husband. By the guide of
charitable people for a suitable man. By one of her female friends who knows her status
and mentions her to one of her relatives, also this could be the fruit of philanthropic
project for achieving marriage relations considering the state of the man and the woman
and what is suitable for every one and is controlled by trustworthy faithful people.
And as for the guardian, it is a must no matter the woman has been
married before or not. The prophet (peace be upon him) said: Any woman who gets
married without the permission of her guardian, her marriage is false, her marriage is
false, her marriage is false.[Narrated by Al Termithy # 1102, Abou Dawood, Ibn Maga
& El Albani said that it is authentic in his book Sahih Al Gamia #
2709 ].
It is preferable for the person proposing (for the first time) to look
at the woman he is proposing to because the prophet (peace be upon him) said:
Go and look at her [Narrated by Muslim # 1424].
And for what Al Nasaee narrated: Al Mugira Ibn Shoba said:
Someone proposed to a woman at the time of the prophet (peace be upon him) so the
prophet asked him: (Did you look at her?) He said no. He said: (look at her, by doing this
it will be more likely to have a harmonious marriage with everlasting love.[Narrated
by Al Nasaee & others, El Albani said that it is authentic in Sahih Al
Gamia # 859].
Most of the scholars agreed that the man proposing for marriage is
allowed to look at the womans face as it is the place that gathers all the charms,
and her hands (their face and back), i.e. she should appear in the same state as in her
prayers.
This should be without staying alone with each other in a privet place.
And without touching one another. He may look, in their meeting, at her more then one time
as long as he needs this, until he decides if hes going to marry her or not.
