The Ruling on Conception via Test-Tube Babies

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! The questioner says: A man has a medical condition, and the doctors have determined that he cannot conceive except through what is called test-tube babies. Is it permissible to use this method?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to use test-tubes to conceive children. This is a method that is not permissible. Conceiving children is sought through the lawful means, through the lawful means. He marries a second, third, or fourth wife, perhaps Allah will grant him a child. And if there is a treatment, and the obstacle is known to the doctors, they treat it. The womb is treated in the pursuit of offspring. As for resorting to test-tubes, this is not permissible. Yes.
