Q 1: A man has a deformed and mentally retarded child who causes trouble all the time. The child now is at puberty and has a strong sexual desire. Whenever he sees anyone visiting them, he displays his private parts and thick pubic hair. There is a high risk due to his presence with his younger sisters and mother. He often tries to uncover his mother while she is sleeping. He may rape his sisters. His father had to fasten him with a steel chain that allows him to move to and from the bathroom. Although being fastened, he threatens any woman passing before him. It is worth mentioning that the father tried to treat him since his birth and tried all means of treatment but they were useless. The care centers for the mentally retarded rejected him. Is it
permissible for the father to have the child castrated?
Please answer us. May Allah reward you with the best!
A:
The father of the said child should refer to the hospital to administer a medication that weakens or removes the desire.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
