Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
One of the sisters, Umm Nader, says: May Allah bless you. I have been married for years, and Allah the Exalted has not granted me any offspring, nor has my husband. She says: May Allah bless you. Do I have the right to ask for a divorce so that my husband can marry another woman and I can marry another, and may Allah grant us offspring?
The Shaykh:
Yes, you have the right to ask for a divorce from him for the sake of having children. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He says: What is the ruling on raising the finger when the Name of Allah is mentioned during the imam's recitation?
The Shaykh:
But the answer to the question before this: the scholars mentioned that if the husband does not father children, she does not have the right to ask for separation from him, because this matter is not in his control; this matter is not in his control, but rather it is in the hands of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
