In this paper, we perform the Wheeler–DeWitt quantization for Bianchi type I anisotropic cosmological model in the presence of a scalar field minimally coupled to the Einstein–Hilbert gravity theory. We also consider the cosmological (perfect) fluid to construct the matter sector of the model whose dynamics plays the role of time. After obtaining the Wheeler–DeWitt equation from the Hamiltonian formalism, we then define the self-adjointness relations properly. Doing that, we proceed to get a solution for the Wheeler–DeWitt equation and construct a well-behaved wave function for the universe. The wave packet is next constructed from a superposition of the wave functions with different energy eigenvalues together with a suitable weight factor which renders the norm of the wave packet finite. It is then concluded that the Big-Bang singularity can be removed in the context of quantum cosmology.
