There are THREE main Muslim attitudes to infertility
treatments...
SOME MUSLIMS...
If a couple are
infertile they MUST
NOT have infertility
treatments.
MOST MUSLIMS..
IVF treatment is
acceptable as long
as the egg and
donor are from the
married couple.
SOME MUSLIMS...
IVF with donors is
allowed but the child
does not have full
legal rights.

the following

so it is OK to find a
cure.
SOME MUSLIMS...

MOST MUSLIMS..
IVF treatment is
acceptable as long as
the egg and donor are
from the married
couple.
SOME MUSLIMS...
IVF with donors is
allowed but the child
does not have full
legal rights.
If it is the will of
Allah for the couple
not to have children
they should accept
that.
Infertility is part of
a test from Allah.
Marriage is a contract
between the wife and
husband. There should be
no third person involved.
Donors must not be
related to the parents
wanting a child.
Having children
helps to keep the
couple and family
together.
The social status
and self-esteem
of a woman are
related to her
ability to have
children.
Egg and sperm
donation is
allowed but
the child
produced
cannot inherit
from their
biological
parents.
Allah expects His
creation to reproduce
and start a family.
Children have the
right to know their
natural parents.
Allah has given
humans the ability to
create life in this
way.
Shari’ah Law allows
the extra embryos to
be destroyed as they
are not alive yet.
The use of sperm or
eggs from another
person is regarded as
ADULTERY
What organs can
be donated?
In 2007, 7234 people were on the waiting list for vital organ
donations. However, in 2006 only 3000 transplants took place.
In a survey, 90% of the public were in favour of transplant
surgery yet less than 50% have registered.
One third of families refuse to give permission for organs of
deceased relatives to be used, even though the person has
already signed the organ donation register.
Most Christians are supportive of transplant surgery because…
