Must I tell the one I am to marry about my Hepatitis C, knowing that it is not transmitted through sexual intercourse?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"The spouses must inform each other of any congenital defects before marriage, as this constitutes advice and fosters harmony. You must inform the woman of your illness, and deception is impermissible. Just as a man would not accept marrying a woman who concealed her illness, so too for a woman. 'None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.'"
