Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: A man has proposed to her, and she is undergoing treatment for burn scars on her body that are amenable to removal through cosmetic surgery. Her question is: Is it obligatory for the suitor to be informed of this?
Answer:
The suitor is the one who is at fault; it is obligatory for him to ask about her and send someone to look at her, or he should look at her in the presence of her guardian for the purpose of the proposal. So he is the one who is at fault in this. Yes, he must verify this. Yes.
