\n\tQuestion:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAssalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIs IVF haram in Islam?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn The Name Of Allah, The Most-Merciful, The Most Kind<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIVF is an abbreviation of In-vitro fertilisation, which is a process of fertilisation where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body, in vitro. The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a liquid in a laboratory.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rule regarding any form of artificial insemination is that only the husband and wife’s sperm and eggs may be used for the process, the use of a third party’s sperm or eggs is taking to zina and would be considered a major sin.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Council of the Islamic Fiqh Academy reviewed the different angles and facets of artificial insemination in-depth, by consulting physicians and scholars on the matter.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThey concluded that there are seven known ways for artificial insemination whereby the first five of them are prohibited according to the Shariah and the last two are permissible.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t1.    The fertilisation taking place between the sperm taken from the husband and the eggs taken from a woman who is not his wife, and then the fertilized ovum being implanted into the womb of his wife.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t2.    The fertilisation taking place between the sperm taken from a man who is not the husband and the eggs taken from the wife, and then the fertilized ovum being implanted into the womb of the wife.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t3.    The fertilisation taking place in-vitro between the sperm and the eggs taken from the spouses, and then the fertilized ovum being implanted into the womb of a volunteer woman (i.e. surrogate motherhood).<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t4.    The fertilisation taking place in-vitro between the sperm of a man and eggs of a woman who are both strangers to one another, and then the fertilized ovum being implanted into the womb of another man’s wife.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t5.    The fertilisation taking place in-vitro between the sperm and the eggs taken from the spouses, and then the fertilized ovum is implanted into the womb of the husband’s other wife.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t6.    The sperm of the husband and the eggs of the wife are taken and fertilized in-vitro, and then the fertilized ovum is implanted into the womb of the wife.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t<\/a>7.    Artificial insemination, by taking the sperm of the husband and inserting it in the appropriate place of his wife’s womb, for fertilisation.[1]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
