Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to take samples from a child if it is in his interest and the interest of others, such as knowing the nature of a disease and searching for its cure, and if taking them does not harm him. Causing him some pain for this purpose does not negate the act being in his interest. However, if it causes him harm, then it is not permissible.
