There is no harm in advising a girl and proposing marriage to her, while observing the regulations for speaking with a non- woman. It is recommended to choose a religious woman, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "then win the religious woman..." And because the best thing a believer can benefit from, after the fear of Allah, is a righteous wife, as stated in the : "The world is a provision, and the best of its provision is a righteous woman."
