Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does a person commit a sin if he seeks a wife who does not bear children, while he already has a wife and children from before?
The Shaykh : This is a strange question, for a person to seek a woman who does not bear children. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: meaning the one known for bearing many children. If she had married before and it was known that she bore many children, or if her relatives were known for bearing many children, nevertheless, I see no objection to a man choosing a barren woman for the sake of pleasure and other interests he desires. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you and bless you.
