The answer

The general principle is the permissibility of striving to increase offspring, and the occurrence of twins falls under this principle. Therefore, there is no harm for a Muslim woman to seek to conceive twins through permissible means, such as using stimulants, medications, medical laboratories, and supplication. However, it is not permissible for this to involve a surgical procedure that necessitates exposing the 'awrah (intimate parts) unless it is a necessity and natural conception is not possible. In the case of resorting to in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with its conditions, there is no harm in placing more than one fertilized egg in the womb to create twins if no harm is feared from it.
