What is the religious and health perspective on marrying a woman with hepatitis without her family's knowledge?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the suitor is aware of his fiancée's epidemic illness and is content to marry her, then it appears permissible for him to marry her. He should strive for treatment and prevention for himself and his children by consulting medical professionals. Furthermore, reliance on God for healing is essential, for God is the Healer, and diseases only transmit by His will. The family's stance is not influential, and there is no blame on him if he conceals his fiancée's illness from them.
