Giving a semen sample to the hospital while fasting, out of forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The hospital asked me for a sample of semen. He says: So I gave it to them while I was fasting, and I was unaware that I was fasting. Does that break my fast?
Answer:
Without a doubt, if a man had intercourse and said, "I was unaware," that is not reasonable; it is not reasonable that he would have intercourse while unaware, or that he would ejaculate while unaware. Yes. This ruling was only established regarding eating and drinking: if one ate or drank while unaware. As for intercourse, there is no report that one who has intercourse while unaware is excused. And the discharge of semen is ruled as intercourse. Yes.
