Summary
This fatwa holds that selling animal semen to preserve and obtain good breeds, such as horses, is permissible and valid because it is beneficial and serves as a means of preserving animal lineage. Scholars differ on whether animal semen is pure, and Imam al-Nawawi inclined to the view that it is pure except that of dogs, pigs or their offspring. The fatwa stresses that impure items cannot be sold, and that goods for sale must be pure, beneficial, deliverable and owned by the seller.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kembali kepada persoalan yang dikemukakan, kami berpandangan bahawa menjual air mani haiwan untuk menjaga dan mendapatkan baka haiwan adalah harus. Ini kerana ia mendatangkan manfaat dan ia juga adalah satu wasilah untuk menjaga baka haiwan.
