Abstract
To reach an ideal household (mawaddah warohmah), various preparatory efforts are
needed as early as possible to support the marriage. This preparation must have started since the
introduction process until there is a determination to get to the marriage level. Broadly speaking,
preparations that must be required include a prospective husband and wife must be ready or
mature physically, mentally (psychologically), socially and sexually. Khitbah in Indonesian is
the same as engagement, engagement or proposal. The word "khitbah" comes from Arabic which
is a masdar form of the word تطخ which means to propose or propose. In the Indonesian Islamic
Encyclopedia explained that Khitbah means the proposal or proposal, which is the proposal of a
man who wants to marry a woman, whether she is still a girl or already a widow. In this case
proposal can be done by men and women in accordance with the customs that apply to the
community or the environment they live. Ibn Hazm has his own minhaj (method) in
understanding texts, that is, the Zhahiri minhaj which is very different from the school of
worship that is adopted by jumhur. In understanding a text Ibn Hazm took directly from the
provisions of the text al-Qur'an and the hadith, he only looked at what they can see from the
outside only. Not proclaiming the law, not searching for „illat, he eve n said that the text must be
understood in its final way. Ibn Hazm argues that when preaching a man can see the whole body
of his future wife without exception. Whether it's aurat or not.
