Summary
The 56th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee, held on 7 May 2003, ruled differently depending on when the gametes were taken. Combining gametes that are taken and combined during a valid marriage is permissible (harus). Combining gametes that were taken before the marriage contract is forbidden (haram), even if the combining is done during a valid marriage.
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.
