Intrauterine artificial insemination by a non-Muslim doctor

Question:
This questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him), peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. To proceed: I have undergone several examinations for the sake of having children, and I have used the necessary suppositories for that purpose, but I have not conceived. More than one doctor has told me that internal artificial insemination is necessary. What is your opinion? May Allah the Exalted reward you with good. I should mention that the doctor who will perform it is not a Muslim.
