Conflict of interests?

Aslm
A family from out of town wants to take their son to see a certain girl with the view of marriage. At the same time, their friend also made arrangements for them to go and see another girl. By coincidence, the two girls happen to be the best of friends and found out about it. Is it Jaiz for a boy to go and see two or more girls in the same day? (Understandably they have limited time at their disposal- they are from a town 4 hours away, and their son lives in another province).
Secondly, is it correct for one of the girls to refuse to allow the boy to come and see her, out of consideration for her friend’s feelings?
Kindly advise

 

 

 

Answer

Assalaamu alaykum

It is permissible for a boy to see two girls in one day. However, he should be genuine seeking a wife and not simply wasting the girl's time.

It is permissible for a girl to refuse a boy from seeing her. This applies whether or not it is out of consideration for her friend's feelings.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best
