ANSWER:

Yes he must still lower his gaze!

The only time he can look at a woman is during the marriage interview conducted by the girl’s wali

QUESTION: I have a question regarding the etiquette of lowering the gaze. If a man is married but also open to the possibility of marrying another wife, is he still required to lower his gaze in public settings, or is there a different ruling in such a case?
