She got burned and it left scars; does she have to tell her fiancé?

I am a girl, twenty-five years old. I was in an accident as a result
of which I suffered burns, the scars of which are still present on
both my legs. Now I am engaged; do I have to tell my fiancé about
these scars before doing the marriage contract? I would like to tell
him about it but I feel too shy to talk to him.
Praise be to Allaah.
If the scars from the burns are large and disfiguring in a way
thatcould be off-putting to the husband, it is essential to tell him
before doing the marriage contract, because withholding that
information is regarded as deceit. The basic principle is that any
defect that could be off-putting to the husband and prevent fulfilment
of the aims of marriage, namely compassion and love, must be disclosed
and it is not permissible to conceal it.
This has been discussed previously in the answerto question no. 103411
But if the scars are not very visible or they are unlikely to cause
the husband to be put off, then you do not have to tell your fiancé
about it, because that is not regarded as one of the defects that
would affectthe marriage.
In the event that it is obligatory to tell the husband about it, that
could be done through your father or brother, so that you can avoid
talking to your fiancé unnecessarily, because he is still a non-mahram
to you like any other non-mahram.
We ask Allah to help and guide us and you.
And Allah knows best.
