The Ruling on Test-Tube Babies
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allahu Akbar. The Shaykh said: Do not go beyond what is known. It is known that water enters the man, and he ejaculates into it, and then it is placed in the woman, and then the embryo enters.
Answer:
This is nonsense. Also, who can trust the doctors with people's lineages? They can collect samples from people and mix some of them with others just to say they succeeded in the operation, and they take money. So who can trust them with this?
This is a kind of arbitrariness 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. If offspring does not come to him, the matter is in the hand of Allah. If he does not get any from one woman, he marries a second, third, and fourth woman until he gets a wife. If the matter of marriage is difficult and he does not get anything, let him be content with the decree and destiny of Allah, and not resort to test tubes and the meddling of humans.
