Medical Examination Before Marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the medical examination before marriage obligatory in the Shari'ah?
Answer:
No, it is not obligatory in the Shari'ah. It is merely something that has occurred recently, and I am certain that it will hinder marriage and cause doubts among people. The Muslims used to marry without a medical examination, and nothing but good came of it, praise be to Allah. But these are complications, and their intention is to hinder marriage.
