Is bronchial asthma considered a disease that prevents marriage, what is the ruling on informing the prospective suitor about it, how can a husband afflicted with it deal with his future wife, and is the disease predetermined by Allah?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"Crohn's disease" is common; it is neither contagious nor affects marriage. Therefore, it is permissible for you to marry, and it is even recommended. It may become obligatory if you fear falling into zina (unlawful sexual intercourse). You are not required to inform your wife about the disease as long as it does not affect normal marital life. All diseases and calamities are decreed by Allah. There is no sin in not marrying unless it becomes obligatory upon you due to the fear of zina. We advise marrying a woman of good religious practice and character.
