Informing the boy of the mental condition of the girl he wishes to propose to
Question
I am a doctor and know a patient/girl has a mental illness which is serious enough to harm a relationship and her condition can be stable on lifetime medication. My friend is interested in this girl for her son's marriage as her son likes her too. Should I inform my friend?
Answer
It may be better that you suggest to your friend that she should go to another physician and get it checked out. Thereafter they may decide.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
