Question

Me and my husband have beta thalassemia trait and have been offered ivf. I would like to know if it is permissable to get it tested before they implant the fetus.

Answer

Our understanding is that the woman will have to undress for this implant. Undressing before anyone is impermissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
