The Ruling on the Marriage of a Man with Impotence and Informing the Fiancée of His Condition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: A man is impotent. Is he allowed to marry?
The Shaykh:
Mm.
The questioner:
Is he allowed to marry? But he is too shy to tell the woman he is proposing to.
The Shaykh:
No, he must not deceive her; deception is not permissible for him. If he is impotent, he should tell her that he is impotent and that he wants to marry her for her service. There is nothing wrong with marrying for the sake of service; this is permissible. A man may marry a woman even if he has no desire for her, marrying her for her service, but he must inform her of this. There is nothing wrong with that. However, if he conceals it from her, it is not permissible. Yes.

May Allah reward you
