these past few posts do not deal with the topic of the post which is surrogacy - ie., a child created by a married couple but carried to term in the womb of another. Giving up a child to a childless couple isnt surrogacy.
The talk about love for a child is applicable to surrogacy...and again, this issue is typically discussed and arranged prior to making the contract for surrogacy. Anyway, there is no country or religion that has rules to "kick out a child at age 18"...thats ridiculous! And so is the whole thing about kicking out the elders. But neither has anything to do with surrogacy and whether surrogacy is Islaamic or not...yeah?
You are right, but it demonstrates an intrinsic problem shared between giving the baby up and surrogacy. The problems listed above are real and surrogates will eventually need to tell the child the truth. Especially if the baby looks like no one in the family.
hmmm....most of the discussion involved a child of husband and wife but carried by another woman yeah? So the child will look like the parents who are raising him/her.
hurra to all those ladies who carry a child for someone else!!!!! thinking of all what we go through (morning sickness, nausea, pains) and then they cannot even keep the kid.
Actually, there was a program I watched about a year ago on this subject - it was on CNN or Nature channel - sorry I dont remember. But the women who provided surrogacy were SUCH beautiful, wonderful people - who found much joy in providing their service. There were a couple of horror stories too...but for sure the happy endings far outweighed the sad ones.

Genetically, the child is the parents that gave the sperm and egg. The surrogate contributes the womb, etc.
IVF was not allowed by anyone at one time, and opposed by the vast majority of scholars, and to this day there are those who oppose it .
certain scholars words were taken as if they were words of god, which obviously they were not, and then they sat and examined the situation and okayed it.
anyways..there are those among us who have a hard time with organ trasnpplant..surrogacy is a whole diff topic.
If I was going for it, I would do it ask for forgiveness from god and move forward, because there simply is not enough info.
at the end of the day, the genetic makeup of the child does not change due to surrogacy any more than my genetic makeup changing due blood transfusion. family lines dont change due to organ transplants. if we use the argument that a wet nurse's kids should be treated as siblings, then sure treat a surrogate's kids as siblings as well.
some day our scholars will catch up with it as well. but it is not going to happen anytime in near future.
Exactly, you will find majority of people inclusing scholars really dont have a clue. Otherwise they would not hve been all up in arms agiant IUI and IVF a few years ago.
Best to ignore random mullahs and seek multiple opinions and use common sense and logic as a guide.
