Is it permissible to eat semen in a state of purity? There are two views on this; the correct and widespread one is that it is not permissible, since it is taken to be repulsive; the Most High said { Prohibited to them are repulsive things } [Al-A’raf 157]. And the second is that it is permissible, this being what Sheikh Abu Zaid Al-Maruzi says, since it is in a state of purity and there is no harm in it.
