Father of the boy seeing the girl before his son marries her

Q: Is this genuine that for nikaah, first the father and mother of the boy should go and see the bride followed by the sister/sisters and then the boy should go and see the girl for nikaah. This seems as the different rounds of selection.

A: It is not permissible for the father of the boy to see the girl before his son marries her. Hence, this should be avoided.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
