Question: What is your view on surrogate motherhood? The case I am talking about is one in which the fertilized egg is injected into the surrogate mother because the real mother is too sick to endure pregnancy.
    Answer: Islam does not recognize surrogate motherhood because it challenges its concept of parenthood and thereby disrupts the bond of family relationship between a mother and her child. The ovum and the sperm whether fertilized in the embryo or outside must be nourished inside the mother’s belly or outside it for a while, as may be the case sometimes.
