Are Surrogacy and IVF Permissible in Islam? | Sh. Shadee El Masry

[@HolyMonotony]

I’ve been curious about this after watching a video on the IVF process. It made me think of when I trained to become a birth doula and learned of the miracles of how the sperm travel/hide/seek the egg/some kill themselves so the final sperm can enter the egg, etc. The journey brought tears to my eyes, and I was overwhelmed with the miracle and planning of God. In IVF a human selects a single sperm to inject into the egg. It made me pause and reflect on what is lost there in the divine planning of God.

These frequent uploads on this channel are so perfect for bite-size pieces of knowledge from sheikh shadee. May Allah reward you and make your tasks easier sidi. These are very beneficial and neseccary as it can be hard to find subtopics in the hour long podcasts 🤍

If Islam is pro mercy and pro life, then your concern about the very rare chance of a mistake is not a valid argument. Clinics have ways of managing the fluids safely. Surrogacy I agree is a corruption of motherhood and the rights of the child, but IVF is not

If there is a doubt.. Stay away. The butcher shop analogy.. For some it might seem distasteful however it's a perfect yet simplified example takeng into consideration the emphasis Muslims obligation toward halaal food. Any minor contamination or doubt wud render the food haraam

Sorry that makes no sense to me. YEs of course surrogacy is haram. But IVF can't be ruled out as haram simply because of the faint possibility of a hypothetical mix up. So what if the IVF clinic was in Saudi Arabia, then would it be halal because the people are bound by sharia (to com back to the muslim/non muslim butcher shop analogy)?
