Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection for the Fasting Person

Question
What is the ruling on a husband giving the treating doctor a sample of semen to perform in vitro fertilization for his wife during the day of Ramadan?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: This is not an excuse for breaking the fast in Ramadan, and it is forbidden for both men and women to do so. However, it is permissible to do it outside of Ramadan fasting, and God knows best.
