artificial insemination

What happens in the case using a surgical procedure, where the sperms of the donor are placed in the womb of the mother, who then conceives a child by this method. Will the child be called by his “biological” father’s name or by the name of his mothers husband on the day of judgement? Who is the “correct” father of this child? (If the husband is infertile).

Re: artificial insemination

To the best of my knowledge, all Islamic scholars agree that insemination with the semen of anyone other than the woman's husband is not permissible.

If a man is infertile the couple should look after an orphan instead.

Re: artificial insemination

In case of this feritization method, the donor of sperms is not legally married to the lady or even totally stranger to the lady so, there is no question of calling the baby by the “biological” father’s name in case where the donor is knot known to the parents (Sperm banks know who is the donor) and in case where peole consider marriage to be the mean of having kids, this fact is hard to reconcile too.
Consider this fact. The man legally married to the lady, would he like to accept this somehow that while he is married, someone else claims to be the father of his child?

This I don’t know. But I think by mother’s name…

It is not the man who is necessarily infertile. The woman can have multiple problems too for which artificial insemination is used.
Again, this deals with a very delicate emotional and psychological matter. How can a woman be legally married to a man and yet the man being infertile (As you say) can resort to the fact that the child does not belong to him and someone else is sharing the paternity of the child with him.

Very confusion and very destructive and devastation thing to happen to a society.

But to asnwer your question, the one who donated the sperm, is the biological father of the baby.

Re: artificial insemination

Claiming someone else’s child as your own is haraam. Looking after and raising and providing a home for someone else’s child is halal, as long as you never claim to be the child’s parent.

Re: artificial insemination

But the world we live in, the parents have to take responsibility for the child (ok maybe don’t give him your name), but don’t you it would complicate the matters if the child is told from very young age that ‘you are just living with them, we are not your parents’ ?

I am asking since my bro’s friend’s cousins (six in total) lost both their parents years ago in a car accident and his mother (their khala) raised them as their own so when they even came to know later on that they (the cousins) weren’t real children of the family, they like still to call their parents “Abbu” and “ammi” .

You are demanding an answer on gunpoint :rolleyes:
Make another thread, and I’ll try to write what I know of.

Re: artificial insemination

There's no need to pressure the individual into making a new thread.

No, adoption is not forbidden in Islam. If anything, perhaps something good. Muslims are free to adopt and raise the child(ren) as Muslims. However, the child(ren) should have the actual father's name and not of the who who adopted.

Re: artificial insemination

If the semen was used from father, brother - at least the same surname can be used.

I don't think having 2 husbands would be allowed in Islam?
