What Test-tube babies According to Islam?

Increasingly sophisticated technology of modern medicine. One of a growing trend today is the phenomenon of in vitro fertilization. Indeed, this technology has been pioneered by PC Steptoe and RG Edwards in 1977. Until now, many couples who have difficulty obtaining the child, try to use IVF technology.
IVF is known as in vitro fertilization or in English is known as in vitro fertilization. This is a technique of egg fertilization (ovum) outside the woman's body. IVF is one method to overcome fertility problems when other methods did not work.
The process consists of the hormonal control of ovulation process, the removal of eggs from the ovary and fertilized by a sperm cell in a liquid medium. Then how is the law of IVF in the view of Islam? Two years since the discovery of this technology, the scholars in the country has set a fatwa regarding IVF / artificial insemination.
Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) in his fatwa stating that IVF with sperm and ovum of the couple husband and wife are legally permissible legal (allowed). Therefore, this includes efforts based on religious principles.
However, the scholars prohibit the use of IVF technology of couples that are deposited in the womb of another woman. "It is haraam," said the MUI fatwa. What article? The scholars assert, in the future it will lead to a complicated problem in relation to inheritance.
The scholars in the MUI fatwa also decided, in vitro fertilization of frozen sperm from the husband who had died haraam. "Because, this will lead to a complicated problem, both in relation to the determination nasab and in terms of inheritance," wrote the fatwa.
And what about the IVF process which sperm and artificially inseminated himself did not come from couples that legal? The MUI fatwa clearly states it is haraam. The reason is, its status as a sexual relationship outside marriage antarlawan type a valid alias adultery.
Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) has also set a fatwa related to this issue in the forum at the National Conference of Ulama Alim Kaliurang, Yogyakarta in 1981. There are three decisions that set the NU ulama IVF-related problems: First, if the semen is saved and inserted into the uterus wanita it was not semen husband and wife are legitimate, then IVF is haraam.
This was based on a hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas RA, Rasulullah SAW said, "There is no greater sin after shirk in the sight of Allah, than the act of a man who put his sperm (adultery) in the uterus of women who are not lawful for him."
Second, if the sperm are deposited belonged to the husband and wife, but not how to remove it muhtaram, then the law is also unlawful. "Mani is a seminal muhtaram out / removed in a manner that is not prohibited by the Personality '," said NU clerics in the fatwa.
Related to ejaculate in muhtaram, NU clerics cite the legal basis of Kifayatul Akhyar II/113. "If a man tried to remove his sperm (with masturbating) with his wife's hand, then it is permissible, because the wife's place or vehicle is allowed to have fun." Third, if the semen is deposited that semen husband and wife and how to remove it including muhtaram, and inserted into the womb of his own wife, then the law of IVF became permissible (allowed).
Although not specifically discuss IVF, the Legal Affairs Committee and Tajdid PP Muhammadiyah also have set a fatwa associated should not leave her husband's sperm and wife in the womb a second wife. In his fatwa, the Legal Affairs Committee and Tajdid reveal articulate, based on ijitihad jama'i conducted jurists from all over the Islamic world, including from Indonesia represented by Mu Muhammadiyah, for an insemination law like that including being banned.
"It was mentioned in the fourth provision of the trial period to three of the Majmaul Fiqhil Islamy by title Athfaalul Anaabib (IVF)," said the Legal Affairs Committee of Muhammadiyah fatwas. Formulation, "the way the fifth insemination was done outside the womb between the two seed husband and wife, then implanted in the womb of another wife (the husband's) ... it is forbidden by law Personality '." As a perfect doctrine, Islam was always able to answer various problems occurring in today's modern world.
