The Ruling on Taking a Sample of Semen for Analysis During the Daytime of Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Samples come to the laboratory for the analysis of semen. Is it permissible to take a sample from a patient during the daytime of Ramadan, given that it can be postponed until after Ramadan? And is it permissible for the laboratory to return these samples?
Answer:
No. If the semen sample is taken from the person, it invalidates his fast. If it is extracted from him through masturbation or through desire, it invalidates his fast. However, if it is extracted from him without desire and without anything else, and it is drawn from him without him feeling pleasure, this does not affect his fast.
