O que o islã ensina sobre Fertilização in vitro
Segundo o islã, Fertilização in vitro: Mubah (neutro).
Conselhos de fiqh islâmico de renome (a Academia Internacional de Fiqh Islâmico e organismos nacionais) permitem a FIV quando usa o sêmen do marido e o óvulo da esposa durante casamento válido — gametas de terceiros ou barrigagem de aluguel são haram, pois a linhagem (nasab) é protegida. Embriões excedentes não devem ser destruídos levianamente; vários conselhos proíbem congelamento além da necessidade.

Islam's IVF rulings were developed with unusual speed and precision because the Gulf states built world-class fertility medicine early. The International Islamic Fiqh Academy's resolution (1988, reaffirmed since) draws the line at the marriage: the couple's own sperm and egg, united during a valid marriage — permitted, as treatment (ilaj) for the disease of infertility. Everything that introduces a third party is haram: donor sperm ('ainting the lineage', in the tradition's phrase, equivalent to adultery's lineal confusion), donor eggs (the mother is the one who bears and delivers, per the hadith 'the child belongs to the bed'), and surrogacy. Additional rulings address practice details: masturbation to obtain sperm is normally prohibited but permitted by necessity for IVF (the lesser harm for the greater good of offspring); surplus embryos should be minimized, and destruction of embryos beyond need is forbidden by most councils; the couple's divorce or the husband's death freezes the project — posthumous use of stored embryos is not permitted by most authorities. The tradition's Quranic horizon keeps the frame generous: wombs open and close by God's will (42:50), and medicine is a means within His will, not a rival to it.
