Are defects in physical constitution or in character regarding the spouses?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Defects... are congenital... or moral in conduct.
The Shaykh : He asks, saying: Are the defects in physical constitution or in character? As for physical constitution, it is apparent. As for character, it is looked into.
The student: We said, may Allah reward you, in defining a defect that one of the spouses is repelled from the other due to physical constitution. We said physical constitution, excluding character. If, for example, the woman is quick-tempered... and the like of that, this is not a defect... for annulment. Rather, it is a physical defect from Allah (Mighty and Majestic), because it is He who makes a person disgusted by the woman.
