A man who is infertile was asked to take sperm from the hospital and place it in his wife's womb; what is the ruling?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And the Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man who is not granted children went to a hospital abroad for treatment. A man who is not granted children went to Khalid Hospital for treatment.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
He was told to take sperm from the hospital and place it in his wife's womb; is this child considered one of his sons?

The Shaykh:
If the fluid is not his, then it is not his son. This is not permissible; this is forbidden and not permissible. This child will be his heir, and he will be a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to his women, yet he is not his son. It necessitates, and may Allah protect us, many dangers for him. This action is not permissible. He should be patient until a child comes, be patient, complain to Allah, and not know the good. Yes.
