A religious young person of age 27 having a very good health, figure and urge to marry, but cannot hold erection for more than 3 to 4 minutes is about to get married but fears the worst. No consultation with any Doctor has been done. Is it lawful to marry. JazakALLAH Wassalaam, Note Please also print the reply on your website Q & A without mentioning the name as this is a problem faced by many people.
Answer
According to the Shari'ah, an Inneen (impotent) person should not marry
until he undergoes treatment and cures himself. If he is a married person,
his wife may request an annulment of the marriage.
We advise the person in question seek medical advise immediately.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
