Majma al-Zawaid 7455 — Looking at the woman one wishes to marry

عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِذَا خَطَبَ أَحَدُكُمُ امْرَأَةً فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا إِذَا كَانَ إِنَّمَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا لِخِطْبَتِهِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَا تَعْلَمُ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ إِلَّا أَنَّ زُهَيْرًا شَكَّ فَقَالَ عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ أَوْ أَبِي حُمَيْدَةَ . وَالْبَزَّارُ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَكٍّ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَالْكَبِيرِ ، وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Humayd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you proposes marriage to a woman, there is no sin on him if he looks at her, provided he is looking at her only for the sake of the proposal, even if she does not know."
Ahmad recorded it, except that the narrator Zuhayr was in doubt whether
it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Humayd (may Allah be pleased with him) or from Sayyiduna Abu Humaydah (may Allah be pleased with him); al-Bazzar recorded it without any doubt, and at-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat and al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; the narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.
