Fatwa #4656119 November 2020Pakistan
Is surrogacy permissible?
Question
Im just asking this question for my own knowledge. A woman who cant have kids, can she have a surrogate?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The practice of surrogacy or the involvement of a third person in reproduction is not permissible.[1] Alternatively, one may consider adoption. That is indeed a virtuous deed.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
