Question
We are married for just over a year now, we don't have any children yet. I am very concerned and worried, many of my friends and family, some of whom had gotten married after me have Alhamdulillah had a child or are expecting. I have the following concerns and questions: 1 . My husband doesn't want me or him to go for any tests or check-ups to find if there is a problem or not despite the both of us wanting children. 2. I was checking on the internet for possible causes and I came across a certain condition called the klinefelter syndrome which affects male's fertility, I have noticed some symptoms in him like him being taller than average, having less facial hair and broad hips. I want him to go for the test, he doesn't want to go and says it is not permissible as you have to expose your private parts before the doctor and he says this whole thing is all nonsense, we must just make Dua and accept whatever Allah Ta'ala Wills for us. 3. If he refuses to go for the test and also refuses to take me for a test, what am I supposed to do?
Answer
You are supposed to conduct yourself as a Muslim who believes that only Allah Ta‟ala creates. The doctors cannot do anything in conflict with the decree of Allah Ta‟ala. Allah Ta‟ala states explicitly in the Qur‟aan Majeed:
―The dominion of the heavens and earth belong to Allah. He creates as He wills. He bestows females to whomever
He wills, and He bestows males to whomever He wills, or He bestows male and female to whomever He wills, and He makes barren whomever He wills.‖
Whomever Allah Ta‟ala has decreed for creation will appear. No technique will succeed if Allah Ta‟ala has not decreed children for you. You are displaying the attitude of atheists. Your Imaan is exceptionally weak. Repent and be contented with dua. It is haraam for your husband or for you to go for these evil, kuffaar, obscene tests.
