Summary
Combining sperm and egg that are collected and combined during a valid marriage is permissible. If the sperm or egg was taken before the marriage contract and combined during a valid marriage, it is forbidden. Placing an embryo into the wife's womb after the husband's death or after divorce is also forbidden. The Negeri Sembilan fatwa adopts the decision of the 56th National Fatwa Muzakarah and has not been gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum mencantumkan benih yang diambil dan dicantumkan dalam tempoh perkahwinan yang sah adalah harus.
