Procreation is a sacred right in Islam. Thus, children in Islam are considered a great and blessed gift of Allah. There is no religious objection in the Islamic codes of ethics to an infertile couple pursuing medical treatment for infertility.
Therefore, oncofertility would not be deemed a “necessity” for infertile women. Nevertheless, Islamic law considers offspring of men and women a basic marital right. For this reason, husbands and wives are permitted to divorce each other for infertility and impotence, respectively.
“And He did create the two sexes, the male and the female from Nutfah when emitted or planned”Quran: (surah An-Najam,53:Ayat45–46). We know that if sperm with a “y” chromosome fertilizes ovum, it is a male child and if sperm bearing “X” chromosome fertilizes ovum it is a female child.

With that in mind the author of the above passage from the Quran tells us that sperm (drop emitted) comes from the area of the body "between the backbone and the ribs." In actuality, sperm is produced and stored in the scrotum; more technically, in the system of tubes in the testicles which are located in the scrotum.

In Islam, submitting to God is a manifestation of the faith. Faith in God is the source of piety that provides the women a very positive lens of their pregnancy and motivates them to nurture their babies and themselves. Normal labor is generally desirable among Indonesian women, and they trust God to grant them so.

You bring to bloom what is barren. We ask your presence and care for all those who seek to be parents.

The researchers found that women who were prayed for became pregnant twice as often as those who did not have people praying for them.
The Quran does not prohibit birth control, nor does it forbid a husband or wife to space preg- nancies or limit their number. Thus, the great majority of Islamic jurists believe that family plan- ning is permissible in Islam.
17 Article 53 paragraph (1) Compilation of Islamic Law states that a woman who is pregnant outside of marriage can be married to a man who got her pregnant.
