Is Intrauterine insemination (iui) halal in Islam

Islamic views on assisted reproductive technologies, including Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), can vary among different scholars and schools of thought. In Islam, the permissibility of assisted reproductive technologies is often discussed in the context of whether they involve the use of the husband’s sperm and the wife’s egg within the bounds of a lawful marital relationship.

In general, many Islamic scholars consider IUI to be permissible under certain conditions, as long as it involves the sperm of the husband and is done within the confines of a lawful marriage. The intention behind the procedure, the source of the sperm, and adherence to Islamic principles of modesty and privacy are often emphasized.

Islamic rulings on reproductive technologies can be nuanced, and individuals seeking fertility treatments are encouraged to seek guidance from qualified religious authorities to ensure that the procedures align with their religious beliefs and principles. Additionally, local cultural and legal contexts may also influence the views on assisted reproductive technologies within Muslim communities.

Is IVF or test-tube baby permissible, when the sperm and the egg belong to a lawfully wedded couple?”
There is no objection to carrying out the procedure in itself. However, it is obligatory to keep away from any preliminary step that might involve committing a ḥarām act like prohibited looking and touching.
Assuming it is permissible; can the couple go ahead with the procedure if a non-maḥram doctor carries it out? And does the born child belong to the same couple?
The child born by way of this procedure belongs to the couple from whom the sperm and the egg were taken.

Assuming that it is not permissible in itself; would the ruling be different if the continuity of the marriage was dependent on it?
It is mentioned that carrying out the procedure, in itself, is permissible.
