Procreation and having children are among the most important objectives of marriage in Islam, and it is something praised by Islamic law, based on the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Marry the affectionate, fertile woman, for I will boast of your numbers before the nations." Striving to have children, seeking treatment, and resorting to medicine for this purpose are permissible, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, encouraged and desired seeking treatment.
