Inaudibly vowing not to marry another woman if something happens


356

Q: Fifteen years ago, I decided not to marry a second wife if a certain thing happened; however, I did not pronounce this intention. This thing has already taken place. Now, my wife has given birth to ten male and female children, nine of them are alive and one died due to a hemorrhage that has stricken my wife and continued with her at every labor. She asked for my permission to use contraceptive pills and I gave her my consent out of my fear for her. Now, my wife can not get pregnant since three years due to this disease. Praise be to Allah, I am well and can marry another girl. My uncle proposed his daughter in marriage to me. Please guide me concerning what I should do.


A: If the case is as you have mentioned, there is no blame on you if you get married. (Part No. 23; Page No. 282) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
