The answer

Any physical attribute that causes the other party to feel repulsion, diminishes the completeness of enjoyment, and removes affection and mercy, is considered a defect (عيب), and must be disclosed before the marriage contract. Leprosy is a defect that necessitates the option to annul the marriage. Scholars have stated that vitiligo (البهاق) differs from leprosy and does not necessitate this option. However, the reality of people today is different; in many societies, vitiligo is considered a repulsive defect. Therefore, if vitiligo is considered a defect according to social custom, it must be disclosed.
