The Effect of In Vitro Fertilization on Fasting
The process of in vitro fertilization involves taking a quantity of hormonal injections and stimulants for a long period in the morning and evening. Additionally, the process includes fertilizing the egg and returning it to the mother's womb through a catheter via the vagina. Does this hormonal injection and the catheter in the vagina affect a woman's fasting?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Hormonal injections do not break the fast; because they do not come from a recognized outlet, and catheterization in the vagina does not break the fast; because the vagina is not a recognized outlet, and God knows best.
