Medical treatment

Q: My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 6 years to no avail. We have seen specialists, been on medication, had surgery and have observed fasts and dhikrs, duas. We have been told by our current specialist that IVF (invitro fertilisation) is our last resort. We have read and heard from many sources that it is permissable as long as extra precaution is taken to ensure that the correct sperm and eggs are mixed to implant into the uterus, however we have also heard that this procedure may be haraam. Is this permissable, if carried out by an Islamic run fertility centre, under a Muslim fertility specialist. Your advise is highly appreciated.

Q: I wanted to ask some questions in regards to non-surgical hair transplant. I am a married woman. I suffer from severe hair loss and have been told surgical transplant is not for me as that wont work. So I have been suggested the non surgical transplant which is hair put into a gel based cap and then attached to my scalp with a glue. The gel based cap is breathable and has tiny holes in it for water to reach my scalp underneath. This is not permanent as I will have to remove it ever 4-5 weeks and clean my skin underneath etc at the clinic itself. So my questions is specifically in regards to wudhu and ghusl. If water does go through, is it permissible for me to use this? Just to add I always wear a hijab indoor and outdoor but I have gradually become bald and this is effecting my life a lot. Therefore I wanted to ask if this would be permissible for me as this is the only way I can have hair or see myself bald forever.

Q: I want to know if one is unable to conceive, are they allowed to get pregnant using another woman's egg  (egg donor) in Islam? Please give reference from a learned scholar or fiqh council.
