Muslims, what do you of asexuals

I have met Muslims who say they are not planning to get married and I'm thinking the same. It's a tough decision for me but I think I just wont cut it in being a good parent. I just want to know whether there is anything wrong with this mentality. No abuse at asexuals please. Thanks.

Sorry for the typo on the thread heading.
I don't really know enough to form an opinion, although, I do know that some say that marriage is half of your deen.

Why can't asexuals have kids?
it's your choice whether you want to marry or not...
But i think in the Quran, it mentioned that you gotta marry and have kids so the generation will continue...
but i dunno, it's your own choice

Marriage is obligatory for those who have desires and are able to afford being married. Contrary to popular lay opinion, you don't have to get married. The hadith which states "marriage is half your deen" is normally misinterpreted by youth.

Two great examples too show marriage not being obligatory are the scholars Imam Nawawi and Ibn Taymiyya. Two great scholars of Islam who did not marry, despite living to reasonable ages.

This is the problem. Some people don't deserve to be parents and so shouldn't have kids. Some people don't want to have kids becusse they know they are not capable so why cant it be an easy choice?

Like I said previously, I don't have very much knowledge regarding this. Perhaps if you google "is procreation necessary in Islam", you'll find better answers.

Not finding other people sexually attractive and not desiring sex doesn't mean that asexuals can't have sex at all. It also doesn't mean they are aromantic, with no desire for relationships. I expect the number will be fairly low, but some will want children enough to have sex a few times, and there's always artifical inseminsation.

They... can though? I'm not sure why you find it odd.
To each their own.

If that's your choice and your decision, then good for you.

I hope you are able to find happiness in whatever form you choose.
