Contraceptives and Infertility

Intrauterine insemination

Q: Iui is intrauterine insemination. In this semen of husband is taken in a vial, it is then injected directly into the uterus of woman. My freind had a female child 10 years after marriage by this procedure, she wants to have it one more time. Is it permissible for her?

Infertility treatment

Q: We are married for more than 8 years. We have no children. We are trying to get kids from the beginning but not yet. Doctor advised us to take through test tube. Is it acceptable according to Quran or Hidith?

Fertility treatment

Q: I have heard that IVF, as long as ONLY the Husband's sperm and the Wife's egg is used, is completely halaal. Also about fertility tests for men in order to get checked and have the sperm examined for any defects or problems etc. I wanted to ask that since these procedures involve masturbation, will it be allowed and what is the ruling on this? 

Family planning

Q: I want to ask if family planning allowed in Islam? Or is it permissible for a woman to use a copper T to give some gap between pregnencies. Is it allowed to use contraceptives? Is using a condom allowed to prevent pregnancy?

Is ligation permissible?

Q: I am 36 weeks pregnant with my 5th child. This baby and 4th baby were unplanned. I delivered a child one and half years ago with a c section and now again it will be a c section. It will be my third c section and its getting tough for me. I have searched online a lot and found out that tubal ligation is haraam. Unless the mothers health and life is at risk. Of course if I get pregnant again very soon, my health is going to suffer and I don't want to bear the pain of another c section again. So I just want your opinion if I can go for ligation?  I don't want to commit a sin in my ignorance.
