Marriage to another woman for the purpose of having sons

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a woman has given birth to daughters several times, by the will of Allah, is it permissible for a man to marry another woman in order to have sons?

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it. Even if she has given birth to sons, he may marry another. If she has given birth to sons and daughters, or if she has given birth to sons or daughters and he wishes to marry, there is nothing wrong with it until he completes four.

The questioner:
If.

Another questioner:
Shaykh, regarding the belief in a woman’s marriage to a man of good quality.

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it. He says, perhaps he will be successful with another woman. It may be that he has a woman with whom it was not decreed for her to have anything but a daughter, so he marries a woman for whom Allah has decreed sons. Yes.

Another questioner:
Printed number of the imam.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

Another questioner:
The number of the mahr.

The Shaykh:
No, it is not obligatory. If he marries a woman for one hundred and one, or for a thousand, there is nothing wrong with it.
