Selam aleykum, everyone

I know and truly can understand why it is an great loss not to be able to concieve children of your own. I know I'd have a hard time with this, it makes you kind of feel incomplete, I myself sometimes fear what if I find out I can't have children in the future (astagfirullah!), because I love children, it would be so horrible for me, subhanAllah. I can really understand this.

But to have children is not only about giving birth to the child or making it together with someone. It is about love and seeing the child grow. You may not feel the exact same feelingd as for your "real child", but an adopted or foster child also grants you the parental love, slightly different than that of your biological child, but nonetheless does it become "yours" when you see it grow and learn and you become its parents. I know plenty of people who'll agree with me here and also, if you think you miss something big as you haven't given birth to him/her (the pain, for example), then think of the great pain you may have to deal with if the child grows to dislike you or doubt you when in the future... There are lots of trials you'll go through, some more or less different than that of an biological child, but this doesn't mean these different kinds of trials makes a child less of your own.

There are so, so, SO many orphans in the world. Those children, are our future. Often, some leave their biological children because they can't take care of it, too many kids and too little money/place/time/etc. But this isn't the child's fault. It is all of our obligation to help it, a little baby and child in this world, we are all its parents and teachers, we have to take care of them. Just think if it was you who was the orphan. Just to have someone there, biological or not, is what counts and matters in the end. Your blood-line might not continue, but who cares? Do you continue your blood-line for Allah's sake or is it the love/religious commitment/wisdom/ect that you want to continue for Allah's sake? Your teachings and love will continue, no matter if biological or not. Your care and compassion. Your wisdom, your time. Think about it.

There are a lot of men out there who can't have kids as well. I wonder how many sisters will marry those brothers.

and imagine she can't even get a second husband....:blind:
 
Wer?

I'm not the threadstarter...but wer?

there are many hadiths and stories in which this issue has been mentioned and scholars have indicated that it is preferred though not necessary in a marriage.
And just like the man can take another wife is he cant have children with one, then so it is allowed for a woman to do such a thing. (after divorce obviously, not two together)
 
i think every situation is different. There are hadiths in which Muhammed :arabic5: recommended that men marry women who are 'fertile' like the following:

It was narrated that Ma’qil ibn Yasaar said: A man came to the Messenger of Allaah :arabic5: and said: “O Messenger of Allaah, I have found a woman who is from a good family and is beautiful, but she does not bear children; should I marry her?” He told him not to. Then he came to him a second time and said something similar and he told him not to marry her. Then he came to him a third time and said something similar and he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Marry the one who is loving and fertile, for I will be proud of your great numbers.”

Abu Dawud,nasai


anyway with regards to the question, i think its something that people think it is no biggy (and indeed to some people it isnt) but after 5-10 years of marriage they have a change of heart....its something that needs a lot of thinking, especially if the men are not going to get married again.
Alhumdulillah these days though, there are many different fertility treatments available...

WHAT THE..

There must be some positive quotes on this, this quote will take more people away from Islam than bring closer, this quote has seriously upset me,

Can you get me the commentary on that:cry:
 
well.......if i "loved" her, something then i would stay with her regardless but i haven't found love regardless so, i dont know....

maybe that advice was just for that guy

remember the prophet sallallahi alaihi wasallaam had over 9 wives and he ONLY had children with khadija radhiallahu anha


the prophet sallallahi alaihi wasallaam gave different types of advice to different types of people after analysing their situation and capacity


i hope you feel better now

As i said above, marrying fertile/young women is recommended not obligatory.

In the end, even if both couples have no problems, it doesnt mean they will have no problems having children, each situation is different.

These comments should not take people away from Islam, and anyone who thinks like this imo, is just using it as an excuse. :X
no offense, but comments like that are dangerous

If you are asking about yourself sister, then i am sorry to hear of your problem, though remember, dua is the weapon of a believer and dont forget the dua of Zakariya alayhissalam

At that time Zakariya (Zachariya) invoked his Lord, saying: "O my Lord! Grant me from You, a good offspring. You are indeed the All-Hearer of invocation."
3:38


and indeed Allah gave Ibrahim alayhisalam the glad tidings of a son when he thought it was not possible due to his old age.
 
The answer is yes.

It is not the Sister's fault that she can't have children. She is no less a woman.

And if you adopt an orphan then there are HUGE rewards for you.

If it was me I would still marry her because of who she is.
 
many times people have been in a situation like

the wife has complications and the dr's can only save either the baby or the mother, and most times the husband says the wife, so if you loved your wife, you wouldnt care about kids would you, marriage is meant to be a union of two souls :p if kids are meant to be their then they are, if not then they are not, and subhanallah so much treatments it can be sorted anyway lol so why we worryin!

threads gone on toooo long like a lost choo choo train

needs to be closed! come on moddies!!
 
This is wat my bro said:

Imagine, If I reject a sister for being infertile and I really love her, and I marry one who is fertile, but due to Allahs decree she suddenly can't have kids enymore. All good is from Allah, you don't truly have anything unless Allah says BE n it IS. And children are from Allah not because it says "fertile" on ur madical file.
 
i think this thread has served its purpose, so please can i request mods to close it. whilst it may not be worrying for some, it is for me. hmm. buh nevertheless thankyou for all your thoughts and opinions on this matter. salam
