Unmarried woman freezing her eggs and using them when she gets married

Q: I want to know if it permissible for women to freeze their eggs while they're optimal and use them later when they get married? As they have not found a suitable spouse as yet then it won't be a stress to have kids later.

A: If she is fertile then she does not need to do this. These types of artificial methods are not good and many a times it involves many shameful and sinful acts.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
