Marrying a Girl with Diabetes

Q: I intend marrying a girl with diabetes. She is Deeni inclined. What is your advise regarding this matter?

A: If the girl you intend marrying is committed to Deen and will be able to fulfil the functions of a wife despite her diabetes, then you may marry her. 

وعن أبي هريرة قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : " تنكح المرأة لأربع : لمالها ولحسبها ولجمالها ولدينها فاظفر بذات الدين تربت يداك "  (مشكة المصابيح ص267)
