Is it forbidden for a suitor to marry his fiancée during his critical illness, even if the fiancée agrees to it?
It is not forbidden for a person with heart disease or any other illness to marry, especially if the fiancée is aware of his condition. Although some scholars have deemed it forbidden for a person suffering from a life-threatening illness to marry, the majority permit him to marry, and this is the most preponderant opinion, as there is no evidence to support the prohibition, and the basic principle is permissibility. If the suitor's illness is not life-threatening, then marriage is permissible without dispute. And if it is life-threatening, marriage is still not forbidden for him according to the majority.
