Conditions for Permissibility of Fertility Procedures (like In Vitro Fertilisation and Intra Uterine Insemination)
-Three specialist doctors should have concluded that the wife can conceive only through assisted reproductive technology and it is the only source of procreation for the couple.
-The procedure should be carried out only during the period when the Nikah of the couple is intact. And if the marriage has been terminated due to the death of the husband or divorce, etc., then these procedures cannot be carried out.
-It should be done by a trustworthy Muslim lady doctor, and if this is not possible, then a non-Muslim reliable lady doctor can perform this process, in case it is not possible, then a trustworthy Muslim male doctor can perform it, and if it is also not possible, then a non-Muslim trusted male doctor can do it.
-For this process, doctors should get written consent from the husband and wife, and inform them about the situation and all the stages of this process. The lineages should not be mixed with the mixing of sperms. For this, only the sperm of the husband should be used and special care should be taken to ensure it.
-The sex of the foetus should not be selected by the IVF.
-IVF should only be done for the couples who do not have any children.
-Great care should be taken to ensure that there is no possibility of error or mix-up.
-And the procedures on the wife should be carried out in the presence of the husband. (Al Mausu'ah al Tibbiyah al Fiqhiyyah, madah hamal: 379, 380)
