Vasectomy

• Q1 - Is it permissible for a man to have a vasectomy in Islam? If it is permissible, does a husband need the permission of his wife to do it? 

  A - If the procedure is permanent then it is not allowed, not for men or women. If it is temporary and it will have side effects i.e. in performance etc. the temporary procedure also becomes questionable in terms of its permissibility.

• Q2 - I had a vasectomy and a few nurses had to handle my genitals before the doctor did the procedure. I wanted a male nurse but they had none. Did I sin by letting female nurses touch my genitals (clean, disinfect etc.) ??? 

  A - If the procedure is permanent then it is not allowed, not for men or women. If it is temporary and it will have side effects i.e. in performance etc. the temporary procedure also becomes questionable.
