What is the ruling on so-called test-tube babies?
Praise be to Allah.
The issue of test-tube babies has been studied by the Islamic Fiqh Council which issued the following statement:
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 Allah knows best.
