Sperm, ova
and embryo donation are not permitted.
Additional embryos produced by IVF between husband and wife can be discarded or given for genetic research, if not to be used by the same couple for a future attempt. Surrogacy involving a third person is not permissible, as we believe that it exceeds the boundaries of the marriage contract and lineage (Qur’ān 58:2, 25:54). Use of fertility drugs is permissible. An infertile couple, if they can not find a permissible cure, can care for another child orphan or someone else’s child as their own within the Islamic guidelines of adoption, not the legal adoption as practiced in the United States. |
