Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Council ruled that womb donation and transplantation is not permissible. The default ruling is prohibited, and the aim of having offspring is only a complementary need (takmiliyyah) for family life. In Malaysia the need has not reached the level of darurah (necessity) that would permit a prohibited matter, and for women with a problematic womb or none it is only at the level of tahsiniyyat.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum asal pendermaan dan pemindahan rahim adalah haram dan tujuan untuk mendapatkan zuriat hanyalah bersifat takmiliyyah iaitu sebagai pelengkap kehidupan berkeluarga.
