Contraceptives and Infertility

Unmarried woman getting pregnant through artificial insemination

Q: A Muslim sister in a certain Islamic community got pregnant. The Islamic leaders decided to discipline her since she was not married. When the elders of the Community met her, she told them that she has stayed in the religion for years and no one is marrying her and she is getting to the age where she can't get pregnant if married. So she went and did artificial insemination since she wants a child. She provided the medical documents that showed that she has done the artificial insemination. The sister is pregnant without committing fornication nor adultery. Is she sinful?

Surrogacy

Q: Seeking treatment for some illness is sunnah... And Allah has sent cure with illness... This is a hadith... As modern science is getting new technology and ways to cure many diseases so what if one cannot carry a child for the full term of pregnancy due to some medical issues... Gestational surrogacy is the only cure to it.... I have read many Islamic views on it and some consider it okay as it is a cure... Sonme are not okay with it.... If it is not allowed then what about that hadis and sunnah?

Egg donation (IVF)

Q: My husband has two wifes. I have two sons while the other wife has no children. My husband is forcing me to give one of my eggs so that he can produce a test tube baby and put this in the uterus of the other wife. I am not happy with this. Is this allowed in Islam? 

Invitro Fertilisation (IVF)

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. 

Surrogacy

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?
