Should I tell people who come to my house for marriage about my disease?

I empathize with you and pray to Allah to heal and cure you and make you well.

 

If you are suffering from a condition which may adversely affect or impact your marriage partner, you need to disclose it. I think your situation warrants it. In other words, you ought to tell the prospective candidate about it so that he does not feel betrayed.

 

If he accepts you after you have disclosed it, then you need not to worry. Otherwise, if you did not do so, then, according to Islamic law, that is a ground for divorce.

 

The fact that you are sick should not lead you to despair. It is a test from Allah; He sends tests not to destroy us but to give you a chance to help you grow spiritually. Preserving patience in the face of trials Allah sends our way is a great virtue.

 

You may do well to know that the Prophets and it is the people closest to Allah are tested more than others. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “The case of a believer is always wonderful: when faced with joy or blessing, he is grateful to Allah; which is good for him. If, on the other hand, he faces a distressful situation he preserves patience, which again, turns out to be good for him.” (Muslim)

 

So, do not despair of Allah’s mercy. Don’t give up on marriage;  continue to make lots of istighfar and pray to Allah. Allah can open doors you may think to be closed. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever clings to istigfar, Allah will take him or her out of all troubles ( and bestow relief) and provide for him or her in ways they could never imagine.”

 

I would urge to be persistent in calling out and praying to the Lord: let’s hope that someone (who does not mind about your medical challenges) might knock in the door with a marriage proposal.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
