Q. A man has presented his proposal for marriage to a certain woman. Will it be permissible for another person to submit his marriage proposal to the same woman while the first proposal is yet under consideration?

A. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) forbade Muslims to propose for marriage when a prior proposal is under consideration. After one proposal has been rejected another may be submitted.
