Summary
The 106th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee (2014) ruled that uterus donation and transplantation is not permissible. The default ruling is prohibition, and having offspring is only a complementary need (takmiliyyah) in family life. In Malaysia the need has not reached the level of necessity (dharurah) and stands only at the level of embellishment (tahsiniyyat), so it cannot justify what is otherwise forbidden.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Muzakarah bersetuju memutuskan bahawa hukum pendermaan dan pemindahan rahim adalah tidak harus kerana keperluannya belum mencapai tahap dharurah yang boleh membenarkan sesuatu perkara yang diharamkan.
