_Ruling on in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and Also Ruling on using eggs or sperm from someone other than the spouses in artificial insemination

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Jumuat, 13th day of Shăbaan, 1440, (Friday, 19th April, 2019).
*_Ruling on in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and Also Ruling on using eggs or sperm from someone other than the spouses in artificial insemination_*. *BismilLah*.

The following rulings are from Scholars based on QUR'AN and SUNNAH so let's study them and accept it for ALLAH sake.

Undoubtedly children are one of the blessings and adornments of this world, and one of the greatest purposes of marriage is to produce offspring. A righteous child is a treasure for his or her parents in this world and in the Hereafter, and his righteous deeds will be recorded in the balance of his parents’ deeds. A man or a woman may be faced with lack of children or delay of having children. What they must do is be patient and seek reward, and say a lot of du’aa’ and prayers for forgiveness. They should understand that ALLAAH only decree things for a reason. If a person has available Islamically acceptable means of getting children, there is nothing wrong with his pursuing that. But the Muslim should beware of false ways involving sihr (witchcraft) and myths, and he should beware of doctors who do not fear ALLAH and whose main aim is to make money from those who want to have children. Hence some of them switch eggs or sperm. This is why some scholars have forbidden these methods of having children or have stipulated very strict conditions. ALLAH is the ONLY One who grant children to whom HE wishes. ALLAH has also stated clearly in the Qur'an that HE created some women barren as a test or trial and whoever passes this test will achieve what those with children may not be able to achieve so let's rely only on ALLAH through Dua and if he does not grant us children, our patience maybe enough to earn HIS Jannat which should be our priority than having children. Also note that as ALLAH says Children can be fitnah or a source of ALLAH'S punishment on Earth and on judgement day so why do we want to take even risk means to have children other than relying on ALLAH for pious offspring?. Its strictly forbidden and haraam to use any man's sperms who is not your husband for it but allowed for couple to do it through a doctor who can be trusted preferably a Muslim doctor full of eemaan.

A true story happened in Ghana not long ago which my Mrs narrated to me just few months ago. A wealthy married woman did all she can to conceive but could not and was growing old so someone advised her to perform hajj and pray to ALLAH sincerely by the Kaaba. She did exactly that but because ALLAH may have created her barren for good reasons or delayed her having her own children, ALLAH granted her a newly born baby someone threw away around her community which she took and adopted the legal means and now with a lovely baby to wipe her tears away atakbir!. ALLAH says HE is the best of planners so let's rely solely on HIM. 

Please remember today is Friday as such we should strive to perform all the sunnahs of today by going to masjid early, taken our ghusul, wearing nice clothes, reciting suuratul Kahf, sending lots of Salutations to our beloved messenger of ALLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam etc. *_May ALLAH be pleased with us and forgive our ignorance_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrog...
