I don't know how to put this, but this is the easitest way I could explain:

A man and his wife decide to have a baby, but for some medical reason*, they had to take some sperm out of the man's body and some egg out of his wife's body, and then put them together in the wife's ovary.
You see, they are married, and the zygote (cell formed by the union of gametes "sperm and egg") are put into the wife's ovary, and NOT OTHER woman.

Is this HARAAM or HALAL ?

*Medical reason: Both parents have a disease, and the chances that the baby may be affected are big. To make sure that the baby isn't affected by the same disease, the doctors check the sex cells and select a sample, because they can tell whether or not the baby is going to be diseased. So what they do is, select one from each which doesn't carry the disease.

i don't think it's haram. i just don't see what's wrong with doing something like that if for medical reasons they can't have a child naturally or know for sure a possibilty of disease. why should the child suffer when all that suffering can be prevented?

I don't think it's haram either.

But we have to accept and live with what Allah gave us, without forcing things

So, amo_l_oman, you think it's haraam?!

Yap

I support amo_l_oman answer .. You see Why would they go out of their way and plant an egg and make sure its safe .. I believe strongly in Gods will and power and time and his blessing of having a healthy baby .

Unnatural exercise is forbidden ..

What is the general process that the muslim community uses to answer questions like these, about the use of technology that didn't exist until recently?

I mean, questions like "halal or haram" shouldn't be answered by mere opinions, but some textual basis, eh?

I don't see anything haram about it.... so what if they used medicine to help them have children. Since the cells come from the two parents there is no harm at all.

In fact I would think Islam would encourage this.

Its not haram , unless the egg wasn't from the mother or the sperm wasn't from the father(Parent)
If it was a stranger then its haram .

moonie, quetions like these should be addressed to the Islamic Aunthority (a mufti) who should ask people of knowledge about the poceudure of doing this and then decides wether its halal or haram.

Therefore, whatever answer given here is just a mere opinion.

What is the ruling on so-called test-tube babies?

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

This matter has been studied by the Islamic Fiqh Council (Majma’ al-Fiqh al-Islami), who issued the following statement:

One: The following five methods are forbidden according to sharee’ah. They are forbidden either in and of themselves, or because of their consequences such as mixing lineages, not knowing who the child’s mother is, or other reasons that are objectionable according to sharee’ah.

-When fertilization takes place between sperm taken from the husband and an egg taken from a woman who is not his wife, then the embryo is placed in his wife’s womb.

-When fertilization takes place between sperm taken from a man who is not the husband, and an egg taken from the wife, then the embryo is placed in the womb of the wife.

-When fertilization is done externally between the sperm and egg of the couple, then the embryo is placed in the womb of a woman who volunteers to carry it (“surrogate motherhood”).

-When fertilization is done externally between the sperm of a man who is not the husband and the egg of a woman who is not the wife, then the embryo is placed in the womb of the wife.

-When fertilization is done externally between the sperm and egg of the two spouses, then the embryo is placed in the womb of another wife (of the husband).

Two: The sixth and seventh methods are acceptable as a last resort in cases of necessity, when it is certain that all necessary precautions have been taken. These two methods are

When the sperm is taken from the husband and an egg is taken from the wife, fertilization is done externally, then the embryo is planted in the womb of the wife.

When the sperm of the husband is taken and injected into a suitable place in the cervix or womb of the wife so that fertilization may take place internally.:

Other reservations that pose a concern in this matter include: the uncovering of the woman’s ‘awrah and most private parts; the possibility of mistakes in the laboratory; the possibility that some weak-minded people in some hospitals may breach their trust and deliberately switch eggs or sperm in order to make the operation a success and earn more material gains. So we have to be extremely cautious when dealing with this matter. And Allaah knows best

Arabian Princess, thank you!! It was very clear :)

You know it's for a good deed.

But, no ... it might be haram.

Have I heard of anything more absurd? Not quite.
