The question

Is it permissible, from a Sharia perspective, for a young man proposing marriage not to disclose his Crohn's disease, knowing that the disease is in remission and does not affect his sexual capabilities, given his fear that the girl or her family might exaggerate the matter due to searching for inaccurate information?

The answer

The majority of scholars hold that the defects necessitating the annulment of marriage and requiring disclosure to the suitor are those that prevent intercourse, or are repulsive or contagious diseases. As for a non-contagious or non-repulsive illness that does not prevent intercourse, there is no obligation to disclose it, and this does not constitute forbidden deception, especially if the person is undergoing treatment for it and its symptoms are not apparent. However, frankness is preferable.
