The permissibility of egg donation in Islam is a complex issue with varying interpretations. According to one perspective, egg donation is allowed under specific conditions.
Here's a breakdown:
- Permissibility with Temporary Marriage: Some Islamic scholars allow egg donation if the husband temporarily marries the egg donor. This ensures that all three parties involved are married.
- Sperm Donation: Sperm donation is generally forbidden because a sperm donor cannot temporarily marry a married woman whose husband is infertile.
The table below summarizes the permissibility:
| Donation Type | Permissible? | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Egg Donation | Yes | Temporary marriage to the egg donor |
| Sperm Donation | No | Cannot temporarily marry a married woman |
This view aims to adhere to Islamic principles regarding lineage and marital relationships.
