Al-Marsad newspaper: The chief researcher of Al-Azhar Al-Sharif, Sheikh Tariq Nasr, authorized insemination with the husband’s sperm following his death, if the husband’s consent was granted before his death and the process of insemination had already begun, but the husband died before the wife’s egg was fertilized.
Nasr said, during an interview on the “Red Line” program, that the completion of the artificial insemination process needs two conditions to be completed, the first is that the wife is still in the waiting period, and the second is to obtain the consent of the legal heirs.
He explained: “A man may freeze sperm with controls and conditions that must be observed. The man’s sperm and the woman’s egg must not be used unless they are married while ensuring the safety of storage.”
And he continued: “Semen is originally pure because it creates a person from it. If knowledge is able to preserve it, there is no objection to that at all.”
