Question Detail:

Dear Mufti.

Answer :

In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.

We make du’aa that Allaah Ta’aala grants you the courage to overcome your health related challenges.

Klinefelter syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects male physical and cognitive development. The primary features are infertility and small testicles[1].

It will be permissible for you to undergo a testicular biopsy. You will be excused to do the above mentioned things due to medical reasons[2].

And Allaah Ta’aala Knows Best.
