Answer

(Fatwa: 252/194=H/1429)

Both the ways are haram. There is no wrong if you consult any other expert and religious hakim or doctor and adopt lawful alternative treatment. Adopt lawful and halal method and pay special attention to duas. If the children are better for you in this world and the hereafter then giving children is not impossible for Allah. But, if it is not better for you and not destined by Allah, then keep patience and stay thankful to Allah. Deliberate the matter of this world only that many people are so much troubled due to their children that your trouble is not even 4% compared to their troubles. They very earnestly wish that their children would have not been born. Even, we observe many wishing that their children may die before their eyes as soon as possible.
