What is the ruling on the in-laws deceiving their son's wife by concealing his illness from her, and what are the implications of their action?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
We advise you to supplicate frequently for your husband and to perform Shariah (Islamic exorcism/healing). If your husband and his family concealed his illness from you, they have wronged you and deceived you, and they are sinful for that; because concealing physical defects is a forbidden deception. You have the right to seek divorce if you are harmed by remaining with him; because evident harm is one of the justifications for seeking divorce. His family must support him and assist you.
