Everything you need to know about IVF
Everything you need to know about IVF, surrogacy, egg donation, and sperm donation: religious rulings, legal procedures, and available services in Shiraz, Iran.
Is surrogacy and egg donation halal or haram? And how does the family prepare psychologically?
Surrogacy and egg donation are sensitive topics in modern medicine, raising religious, medical, and psychological questions. This topic is examined from the perspective of Islamic law and the psychological challenges for families, especially when considering these methods to fulfill the dream of parenthood.
The religious ruling on surrogacy and egg donation.
1. Surrogacy:
According to the fatwas of some Islamic scholars, surrogacy is permissible under specific conditions, the most important of which are:
– The embryo must result from the fertilization of the wife’s egg with the husband’s sperm in a medical laboratory.
– The embryo must be transferred to another woman’s womb in a legitimate manner, without violating modesty or exposing the woman to unlawful interactions (such as touching or revealing what should be covered).
– The legal and lineage rights of the newborn must be preserved.
However, the ruling differs among scholars, so it is advised to consult the family’s religious reference for a final ruling.
2. Egg donation and IVF:
Religious opinions differ regarding egg donation. Some believe that fertilizing an egg from a foreign woman (not the wife) with the husband’s sperm is not permissible unless there is a legitimate marital relationship, even if temporary, between the parties.
Psychological preparation for surrogacy or egg donation.
Couples may face significant psychological challenges when resorting to surrogacy or egg donation. Therefore, it is advised to:
1. Consult psychological specialists:
Talking to IVF specialized counselors is an important step to understand the potential psychological impact on the family and the future child.
2. Preparing for challenges:
The parents should be aware of the difficulties they may face, such as:
– Dealing with feelings of not having a genetic connection to the child.
– Concerns about how to explain these details to the child in the future.
3. Social support:
Getting support from friends or family can help reduce stress and boost confidence in the decision to use these techniques.
