Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question: What is the ruling on zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) with a barren woman if her barrenness is confirmed?
Answer:
Zina is forbidden with everyone, whether the woman is barren or not. We ask Allah for well-being. The operative cause of the prohibition is not that she might become pregnant. Zina is absolutely forbidden with an old woman, a young girl who cannot bear children, a barren woman, and others. It is forbidden with all of them. We ask Allah for well-being.
