Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), regarding the verse of the Holy Qur'an { وَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَیْکُمْ فِیمَا عَرَّضْتُمْ بِہِ مِنْ خِطْبَۃِ النِّسَائِ }: "And there is no blame upon you for that to which you [indirectly] allude concerning a proposal to women," says that he will say: "I have an inclination towards you and I wish to marry you." Thus, without making any agreement or promise, he should inform her that he wishes to marry her.
