Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu alhamdulillah.

Our first question for today, I've actually gathered together four or five questions

all about the same topic of in vitro fertilization or IVF.

So, and these are a little bit more specific than the generic question.

Sister Asma emails saying that she already has given birth to some children naturally,

alhamdulillah, but some issues happened and she can no longer have any more children.

So she's asking that in this case, is it permissible to utilize the IVF procedure or would

it not be permissible because she already has children?

Qamarun from UK, Qamarun from the UK is a very specific question saying that her husband

and her were trying for many years to have children via the IVF, but they were not successful.

The husband has recently passed away, we ask Allah to forgive him, but she's saying now

that the sperm is still stored and according to the laws of the country, she lives in.

She has the right to access that and they were married at the time of his death.

So can she use his sperm, given that she's still in the idda?

And Sister Misha emails that she has been diagnosed with a rare type of specific ailment

that affects her ovaries, doctors are saying that everything is normal except her egg production.

So the doctors have said that she should take a donor's egg and her husband's sperm

and then put it into her own womb and they will have the baby from her womb.
