Is breaking the fast for one day in Ramadan due to an IVF procedure considered intentional breaking of the fast, or does it take the ruling of a sick person?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If IVF necessitates the emission of semen during , this invalidates the fast. It must be postponed until night or until after Ramadan, if possible. If it is not possible to postpone it beyond daylight hours due to considerable hardship, then the person is considered ill and is permitted to break their fast, and they must make up for it later.
