Gestational Surrogacy: A Modern Cure or Against Sunnah?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Seeking treatment for some illness is sunnah… And Allah has sent cure with illness… This is a hadith… As modern science is getting new technology and ways to cure many diseases so what if one cannot carry a child for the full term of pregnancy due to some medical issues… Gestational surrogacy is the only cure to it…. I have read many Islamic views on it and some consider it okay as it is a cure… Sonme are not okay with it…. If it is not allowed then what about that hadis and sunnah?

Bismillaah

A: This is not permissible.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
