If what is meant by "khitbah" (engagement) is the marriage contract, then there is no harm in the husband visiting his wife. However, if what is meant by "khitbah" is merely the viewing (of the prospective bride), then it is not permissible for the suitor to see the prospective bride again or to enter upon her, because she is a stranger to him until the contract is concluded. He was only permitted the first viewing to remove ambiguity and ignorance. Muslims must not be lenient in these matters to avoid their negative consequences.
