The ruling on isolating oneself from people due to infertility
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner mentions that she is a woman who has been married for twenty-five years and has not borne children, and that she often, O Shaykh, resorts to staying and remaining in her room, thinking a great deal, and saying that she wants to have little interest in this worldly life. Is this an objection to the divine decree and wisdom of Allah?
Answer:
Staying in the room or in a place is seclusion; seclusion that is not permissible in this manner. She has to go out for her needs, mix with people, sit with them, and be content with the divine decree and destiny of Allah. She should also make supplication, asking Allah for righteous offspring, for Allah is near and responsive. Yes.
