Surrogate Mother
Question
Q. Please can you tell me what in the Islamic perspective on being a surrogate mother for someone who can’t have children?
Is it allowed in Islam?
Answer
Being a surrogate mother is not permissible as it goes against Islamic morals and creates confusion with regards to the lineage of the child.
And Allah Knows Best
