Question
According to the Fiqh Academy of Jeddah, artificial insemination, IBR and testtube baby techniques are permissible if only the husband and wife are involved. Please study the article and comment.
Answer
We are in disagreement with the permissibility view expressed in the artificial insemination article. Under no circumstances is this filthy, immoral and haraam method permissible. The 'necessity' factor presented for permissibility of haraam in this context is fallacious. There is no dire need (Shar'i Dhuroorah) in the infertility scenario. Dhuroorah (Necessity) which legalizes prohibitions relates to a situation of life and limb. Infertility is never such a 'necessity' to legalize filth, immorality and haraam.
A Muslim knows, understands and believes that Allah Ta'ala is the Sole Creator, and that only the Souls whom He has already created and ordained for appearance on earth in the form of human beings will be born. No method of treatment can thwart the Divine Dispensation. If Allah Ta'ala has not ordained children for a couple, then all powers and all methods of treatment on earth will never succeed to bestow children to the couple. Since this is the imperative belief of Muslims, and since neither their lives nor limbs are threatened by infertility, it is stupid, moronic, deficiency of Imaan and haraam to resort to these haraam methods introduced by the atheist kuffaar.
Artificial insemination/test tube techniques and the like are all haraam. Only the natural way created by Allah Ta'ala for perpetuating procreation is permissible. This is a brief response to the article. If Allah Ta'ala grants the taufeeq, a detailed refutation of the fallacy of the Fiqh Academy shall be published.
more, then she will become a musaafir on her departure and remain a musaafir even after returning to the earlier destination as long as she does not make the intention of staying 15 days. Note that there is a contrary view which is also valid. However, ignore the contrary view. One cannot follow two opposite views.
