Question

Please share your view on my situation I am a 33 year old single male ( never married). I had an operation after which my body stopped producing testesterone. I get regular testesterone injections once every four weeks. This is the only treatement possible at this time. My sperm count is zero which means I cannot have children. But I can have sex. My question is am I allowed to get married , If yes which One should I get married to: 1. someone who has never been married. 2. A widower with children. 3. A widower without children. 4. A divorcee with children. 4. A divorcee without children. Jazakalaah

Answer

You may get married to whomsoever you wish as you have the ability to fulfil her marital rights. However it would be better to inform a potential spouse in advance, that according to the medical experts you would not be able to father children, even though Allah could give you children inspite of this condition.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
