The answer

Islam has made procreation one of the most important objectives of marriage. Therefore, the husband should not refrain from seeking possible medical treatment that does not entail any Sharia prohibitions. However, it is not forbidden for him to abandon treatment. The wife is permitted to seek divorce due to infertility.
