The ruling on marrying a barren woman for one who does not desire offspring

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am a young man and I want to get married, but I do not want children. Is it permissible for me to marry a barren woman?

Answer:
The sons of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were commanded to marry al-Walid, and one does not marry a barren woman while depriving himself of offspring and depriving the society as well of increasing the number of the Muslim community. This is among the greatest objectives of marriage; procreation is among the greatest objectives of marriage in the Islamic Shari'ah. Yes.
