Artificial Insemination (AI) is the process of reproduction in which sperms are placed in the female reproductive tract (uterus) by medical method without sexual intercourse. There is no clear verse in the Qur’an and saying of the prophet (Hadith) on the issue of AI. Because of this reason, Islamic jurists are divided based on their opinions. According to the 'fatwas' of majority of jurists, AI is legal and complies with Shari’ah if the process is conducted among wedded couples. Although, the process of AI, according to Islamic jurist, is allowed; however, there are many issues of controversy which have arisen as the medical viewpoint through this method of reproduction is not clear. The legal issue starts if the sperm is taken from a third party. Pakistan Islamic Ideology Council is competent to issue 'fatwas' on different controversial matters. As an Islamic country, another decision-making body is Federal Shari’ah court can also Islamize the existing laws and makes legislation on different current issues. Similarly, the issue of Test Tube baby is explained in detail in the decision of Federal Shari’ah Court of Pakistan. This paper seeks to examine the issue of AI from Shari’ah perspective, the opinion of Islamic jurists (fatwas), and legal status of Test Tube Baby in Pakistani law.
