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
