Chapter on What Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, Has Made Permissible and Prohibited in Marriage
وَ سَأَلَ عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ اَلْمَرْأَةَ أَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى شَعْرِهَا قَالَ "نَعَمْ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهَا بِأَغْلَى اَلثَّمَنِ".
And Abdullah ibn Sinan asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who intends to marry a woman, can he look at her hair? Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, because he desires to acquire her for the highest price."
