Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. He says: Honorable Shaykh, one day an elderly man asked me, saying that he had heard about artificial insemination, and he asked, "Does this not count as zina?" I was unable to answer him in my response.
Answer:
How is it zina? This is treatment, this is treatment, or is it zina? The one who says this counts as zina is ignorant; he does not know what zina is. This is treatment, like all other types of treatment. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
