Contraceptives and Infertility

Q: I have 3 daughters mashallah but we desire for Boy. Medically there is a procedure called IVF GDS so through this process you can chose gender. Is it allow in Islam? Please tell me in detail.

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 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.

Q: Is it permissible for a married woman to become a surrogate mother to another Muslim family to help them have children?

Q: My question is that if a Muslim man has two wifes and one of them has womb cancer which means that she can't carry a pregnancy. Could the other wife carry the pregnancy for example like a surrogate would if she wishes to?

Q: My husband and I are trying to fall pregnant. Can we use an anonymous egg donor?

Q: I want to find out if it is permissible to do artificial insemination?

Q: We are married for the past 9 years. We have no kids. We tried for all possible treatments including IVF but no success. Medical problem is in my husband and me too. So if my husband does a second marriage still he is unable to conceive naturally, then will surrogate mothers be permissible in our case. We want to do his second marriage and do surrogacy with her, if allowed in Islam. I have read a lot about surrogacy that it is not allowed but in our case when naturally we cannot have children and our relationship is disturbed a lot due to this lack of kids, can we do surrogacy.

Q: Please advise on the acceptability in islam for the use of invertro in order to obtain a child for couples who are struggling to conceive a child.
