Sex… Family… Life…

All Muslims are expected to have children as they believe

it is what Allah wants. Infertility can be very painful for Muslim couples as they

feel they are not carrying out Allah’s commands.

Therefore most Muslims believe that help should be

given to Muslims who cannot have children naturally.

Despite this there are still some Muslims are

completely against fertility treatment under any

circumstances.

Commitment to the family…

There are THREE main Muslim attitudes to infertility treatments...

Muslim views on infertility…

SOME MUSLIMS...If a couple are

infertile they MUST NOT have infertility

treatments.

MOST MUSLIMS..

IVF treatment is acceptable as long as the egg and donor are

from the married couple.

SOME MUSLIMS...IVF with donors is allowed but the child does not have full legal

rights.

Arguments FOR and AGAINST…

AGAINST the use of fertility treatments.

Did YOU achieveYOUR goals?…

In the Qur’an…“To God belongs the dominion of heavens and earth. He creates

what He wills. He bestows female (offspring) upon whom

He wills, and bestows male (offspring) upon whom He wills. Or he bestows both males and females, and He leaves barren whom He wills. For He is All-Knowledgeable All-Powerful.”

Grade BMost will be able

to explain the meaning of a

quote from the Qur’an and why

it might be viewed

differently by readers.

Did YOU achieveYOUR goals?…

OUTCOMES…

Surrogacy…Why do you think they have

made surrogacy illegal in Australia?

Most Muslims also agree that surrogacy is wrong – Why do

you think this is?

Surrogacy is banned in Islam because:

- It is seen as violating the marriage contract.

- It is believed in Islam that the woman who gives birth to the

child is its mother.

Most Muslims also disagree with the use of sperm/egg donors as they feel this is like committing adultery (which violates the marriage contract). The

also believe that all children have the right to know their biological parents.
