Answer:
Husband not
physically satisfied with wife
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
If a husband is not physically satisfied with their spouse
in marriage, they have the following lawful options in Shariah:
- Bear
their situation and condition of trial with patience, hoping for a reward
in the Hereafter.
- Keep
the first wife and marry another woman.
- Divorce
the wife and marry another woman, and there would be absolutely no blame
or sin upon him.
Whichever lawful option one chooses, one should fear Allah
their Lord and Creator, and know with absolute conviction that they will be
gathered in His Majestic Presence on an Inevitable and Tumultuous Day to give a
full account of their deeds.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
