It is not permissible to definitively conclude infertility based on the opinion of a single doctor. If it is medically proven that you are infertile, you must inform the woman you wish to marry, because she has a right to have children, and to deny her this right without her consent is deception, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever deceives is not of us."
