Is it permissible to marry a woman afflicted with mild epilepsy, which occurs only rarely when medication is stopped, with the possibility of complete recovery?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

We ask Allah Almighty to cure you of this affliction. Mild epilepsy that does not cause harm does not necessitate informing the suitor about it, especially if treatment for it is possible. And this matter does not affect the validity of the marriage if it is concluded with all its conditions met.
