Is Egg donation haram or halal in Islam?

Posted by • August 19, 2011 • Printer-friendly

 

Assalam O Alaikum,

I am 33 years old single mom, engaged to a Muslim man and have been asked to be an egg donor. I have read plenty about artificial insemination but what about being a donor?  I would be helping a family who cannot have children and am not yet married. However, my fiance is concerned rightfully that it could be haram.

Nooshmama.

    Salaam Nooshmama,

    As far as I am aware, no: egg donation is not permitted. Please see a similar question we posted some weeks ago: http://www.zawaj.com/askbilqis/egg-donation-in-islam/

    Peace,
