Question

Assalamualaikum, I have a difficulty with my penis, this is slighty curved due to injury ( called peyrenie's disease). My erection is nromal. I can have sex with safistaction. But small difficulty with penitration due to curvature. I can feel some pain sometime. Doctor say I have to stay with such condition as long as I am able to have sex. If it goes worse I need to go for surgery. But last 2 years there is no sign of deterioration in condition, Alhamdulillah. Do I need to tell this problem before marrage to the would be spouse. May Allah bless you all for your kind efforts for helping people.

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds.  I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

If this defect does not cause any harm to the wife nor does it prevent her from full enjoyment, then it is not an obligation to inform her about it before marrying her.
