Artificial insemination

Question

Can you take your husband's sperm and inject it in yourself to try and get pregnant because he has a problem he can't penetrate.

Answer

The Fuqahaa have ruled that it is not permissible for the husband to masturbate and remove his semen. However, it is permissible for the wife to masturbate the husband. Therefore, if the wife masturbates the husband and removes his semen and thereafter she injects it in her, it will be permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
