Answer:

Love marry impotent man

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 the man one intends to marry has clearly informed the bride regarding his impotency before the marriage, and the bride is willing to marry the person in spite of his physical condition for whatever reason…..there is absolutely no restriction in Shariah Law if the couple wish to unite with each other in the sacred bond of marriage.

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,

Burhan
