Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We move on to Algeria. This is a letter signed by "The Girl of Islam" from Algeria, containing a set of questions. She says: Honorable Shaykh, I am suffering from rheumatism. Should I inform the one who proposes to me of my illness, or should I remain silent?
Answer:
If it is an illness that is visibly apparent on the body, she should mention it to him. However, if it is a mild illness or one that comes and goes, few people are free from illnesses and ailments, so she should not mention it to him.
