One day some wise men, who were going about the country trying to find answers to some of the great questions of their time, came to Mulla Nasruddin's district and asked to see the wisest man in the place. Mulla Nasruddin was brought forward, and a big crowd gathered to listen.
The first wise man began by asking, "Where is the exact center of the world?"
"It is under my right heel," answered Mulla Nasruddin.
"How can you prove that?" asked the first wise man.
"If you don't believe me," answered Mulla Nasruddin, "measure and see."
The first wise man had nothing to answer to that, so the second wise man asked his question. "How many stars are there in the sky?" he said. "As many as there are hairs on my donkey," answered Mulla Nasruddin.
"What proof have you got of that?" asked the second wise man.
"If you don't believe me," answered Mulla Nasruddin, "count the hairs on my donkey and you will see."
"That's foolish talk," said the other. "How can one count the hairs on a donkey?"
"Well," answered Mulla Nasruddin, "How can one count the stars in the sky? If one is foolish talk, so is the other." The second wise man was silent.
The third wise man was becoming annoyed with Mulla Nasruddin and his answers, so he said, "You seem to know a lot about your donkey, so can you tell me how many hairs there are in its tail?"
"Yes," answered Mulla Nasruddin. "There are exactly as many hairs in its tail as there are in your beard."
"How can you prove that?" said the other.
"I can prove it very easily," answered Mulla Nasruddin. "You can pull one hair out of my donkey's tail for every one I pull out of your beard. If the hairs on my donkey's tail do not come to an end at exactly the same time as the hairs in your beard, I will admit that I was wrong."
Of course, the third wise man was not willing to do this, so the crowd declared Mulla Nasruddin the winner of the day's arguments. |

| Question
I have been married for past 6 years and we have no kids due to medical reasons. We are staying abroad in gulf from the time of marriage. Also, due to medical reasons the relationship is reduced. We have undergone lot of medical treatment for having kids but the result was negative. Prior to my marriage i was undergoing treatment with the doctor, the biggest blunder we did was not informing about the treatment to my wife and her parents. My wife was working before but now she is at home and feels very lonely and misses having kids. Kindly advise what should be done since my wife is very depressed & unhappy and i feel like i have cheated her.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
Being sterile is not considered among the defects the give the other party the right to invalidate the marriage contract; it is for this reason that the majority of the juristsare of the view that it is not an obligation )upon the husband( to inform the wife about it.
Hence, we advise you to continue seeking medical treatment. You and your wife should not give up hope; rather, you should supplicate Allaah as much as possible as He answers the supplication of people in distress. It is Allaah Who blessed the ProphetIbraaheem)Abraham(withIsmaa’eel)Ishmael( andIshaaq)Ishaq( while he was an old man, and He blessedZakariyya)Zachariah( withYahia)John( and He amended his wife for him and she became fertile after having been barren; may Allaah exalt the mention of all the Prophets and Messengers.
Indeed, the matter of having children is in the hands of Allaah; Allaah Says )what means(: }To Allaah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He creates what He wills. He gives to whom He wills female ]children[ and He gives to whom He wills males. Or He makes them ]both[ males and females, and He renders whom He wills barren. Indeed, He is Knowing and Competent.{]Quran 42:49-50[
Also, we advise both of you to seek the forgiveness of Allaah as much as possible as this is a means of having children; Allaah Says about the ProphetNooh]Noah[ )what means(: }And said, Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver. He will send ]rain from[ the sky upon you in ]continuing[ showers. And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.{]Quran 71:10-12[
On the other hand, it is permissible for you to look for a means to have children by artificial insemination as this is permissible provided some Islamic conditions are met as clarified in various Fatwas.

Fathwa, - Diseases that may affect marital life should be disclosed before concluding the marriage contract

| Question
I have a disease that affects the liver that is transmitted through blood, sex or childbirth. I caught it due to lack of antisepsis at birth. This disease usually appears between forty and sixty years of age, and once it appears, the affected person dies some days later. As yet, no remedy has been found but there is a vaccine against it. At present, I am 23 years old. I have a job and would like to marry. My question is: could I vaccinate the woman whom I would like to marry without telling her about the reality of my disease? If your Fatwa is in the negative, then, I would not be accepted. Is it lawful to spend my entire life without marriage? Is this not a violation of the rules of a sound innate disposition? I am content with the fate that Allaah The Almighty has decreed for me. What should I do to restrain my sexual desire and not fall into sin?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, is His Slave and Messenger.
A faithful believer must accept the fate that Allaah The Almighty decrees for him, and should do so patiently while hoping for the reward from Allaah The Almighty, keeping in mind that there is wisdom known only by Allaah The Almighty that lies behind whatever diseases and trials he is exposed to, and that they are a means to raise his rank and blot out his sins.
Undoubtedly, the disease that has affected you is a kind of trial, and perhaps Allaah The Almighty would cure you of it by virtue of your obedience and piety, and prayer to Him to cure you and restore you to health, since nothing but supplication can avert fate, as confirmed in the noble Prophetic Hadeeth )narration(.
As for your intention to marry and your question whether or not to tell your would-be wife about this disease, let us say that if it is certain that you are affected by that disease, due to your confidence in the validity of analyses and tests, on the basis of their variety and multiple sources, we are of the view that you should tell the woman whom you would like to marry about this. This is necessary so that she is fully aware of the matter, especially since you are going to vaccinate her against the disease, and you must have her permission before you give her the vaccine. Furthermore, after marriage, the symptoms of the disease might appear, which would put the family life to risk, for by then the woman would perceive to what extent she has been deceived and cheated.
No doubt, you would never accept to be treated as such by your wife. If you marry a woman and after marriage you detect that she is suffering from such a disease and that she has hidden this fact from you, of a surety, your impression would be that you have been cheated and deceived. It is narrated in a Prophetic Hadeeth: "None of you has believed until he likes for his brother what he likes for himself." ]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[
We advise you to endeavor to treat yourself, and do your best to search for a remedy, and have confidence in Allaah The Almighty, seek refuge in Him, and treat yourself with the things which He made curative like the water of Zamzam, honey, black seed and other such things. Many sick persons whose disease was hopeless took refuge in that, with reliance on and confidence in Allaah The Almighty, and they fully recovered.
If you intend to marry, it may be that Allaah The Almighty would place in your way a righteous woman who accepts to marry you regardless of your disease.
We ask Allaah to cure you, restore you to health, and make your affairs easy.

Fathwa, - Marrying a woman who lost her virginity when raped

Share

| Question
I am a young Muslim man. I met a girl whom I intend to marry. She told me that she was deflowered after being raped by her uncle. This matter made me change my mind concerning marrying her. What do you advise?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, is His Slave and Messenger.
If you are sure of the truthfulness of this girl, then, it is permissible for you to marry her. Moreover, if you marry her, you will be preserving her honor. She told you what had happened, which indicates her truthfulness especially that she named her uncle as the perpetrator. It is most unlikely to accuse her uncle if she is a liar. If she was lying, she was more likely to claim that she was raped by any other man or to tell you that she lost her virginity due to a jump or a fall, and so on. In general, you are more knowledgeable regarding the condition of the girl, her truthfulness and circumstances.
We would like to bring to your attention that is it impermissible for a man and a woman to have a relationship before marriage.
