The Ruling on Resorting to Test Tubes to Procreate Offspring

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allahu Akbar. I said, how can you describe the test tubes favorably, knowing that the fluid enters from the man and is cut up and folded, and the woman says to the man, then it enters the man?

Answer:
This is nonsense. Also, who can trust the doctors regarding the lineage of the soul? They might collect semen from people and mix some of it with other, claiming that they succeeded in the operation, and they take money. So who can trust them regarding this?
This is manipulation that is not permissible. One should leave the matter to Allah the Mighty and Majestic. A person marries and does the cause; if offspring comes to him, praise be to Allah, and if offspring does not come to him, the matter is in the hand of Allah. If he does not get offspring from a woman, he marries a second, third, and fourth woman until he gets offspring. If he repeats marriage and does not get anything, let him be content with the divine decree and destiny of Allah, and not resort to test tubes and the meddling of humans.
