Is it obligatory to inform the girl one intends to propose to that there is blood in the semen, knowing that it does not affect conjugal life and there is no microbe?
The presence of blood in the seminal fluid is not a defect that warrants the option of annulment or causes the wife to be repulsed, as it is a temporary, curable illness. The suitor is not obliged to inform his fiancée about it unless it causes infertility or severe reproductive weakness. In this case, disclosure is obligatory because offspring is a right for both spouses and one of the objectives of marriage. Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), Imam Ahmad, Ibn Taymiyyah, and Ibn al-Qayyim all stipulated the obligation of informing a woman about infertility and that she has the right to seek annulment or divorce. The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta also affirmed the obligation of disclosure and a woman's right to divorce due to infertility, stating that it is deception if she is not informed. Therefore, the questioner must ask a doctor about his ability to procreate. If there is severe weakness, he must inform his fiancée; otherwise, he is not obliged to.
