The Ruling on In Vitro Fertilization
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother Ahmad asks about in vitro fertilization, in the case where the wife is unable to conceive through natural means.
Answer:
This issue has been discussed in the fiqh councils, and people differ on it. I hold that it is not permissible because of the doubts involved and the exposure of the private parts. Praise be to Allah, treatment exists by other means. Treatment for infertility is available. If no treatment is found, the person should have patience and count it as a reward from Allah, praise be to Allah, after exerting the permissible means. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
