Question
I am aware that someone intends sending a marriage proposal to a girl. Is it permissible for me to send my proposal to her before his proposal reaches her?
Answer
As long as the girl has not received a proposal, it is permissible for a person to submit his proposal. If you are aware that a Muslim has intentions of marrying a certain girl and that he is about to submit his proposal, then too it is un-Islamic and dishonourable to rush with your proposal to ensure that your proposal reaches the girl first.
