In one of the fatwas you mention that it is allowed to do ivf treatment. However we have heard from someone that it is not allowed. So what is right?
Answer:
IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization, is permissible according to Shari’ah when a woman experiences great difficulty in conceiving a child. However, the following conditions must be observed:
a) Only the sperm of the husband may be used
b) A surrogate mother may not be used (The sperm of the husband must be inseminated into his wife only and no other woman)
(Jami’ul Fatawa, 1/469, Rabbani Book Depot)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
