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.
A: We strongly discourage this.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
