Question: Is it permissible to have a baby by means of in vitro fertilization?
ANSWER
A couple who cannot have a child normally should make du'a to Allahu ta'ala through the wasila [intermediary] of Silsila-i Aliyya [a chain of notable Islamic scholars] and employ all permitted means. In vitro fertilization is permissible on condition that the sperm and ovum are taken from a married couple and no haram is committed during the process. (İslam Ahlakı)

It is not permissible to have a male doctor perform in vitro fertilization because having a child is not an extreme necessity, and it is possible to find a female doctor.

The resultant baby will be considered an illegitimate child."
