Is it permissible to artificially introduce the husband's semen into the wife's uterus to increase the chances of pregnancy?
This procedure is impermissible if it necessitates the exposure of a woman's awrah (intimate parts) to anyone other than her husband, regardless of whether the person exposing it is a man or a woman. This is due to the command to guard the awrah, except for what the Shari'ah has exempted due to a need or an urgent necessity. Seeking pregnancy in this situation is not among the exempted cases that would permit what is otherwise forbidden, given that you are not infertile and have previously been blessed with a child, and the possibility of natural pregnancy still exists. However, if the procedure is performed solely between the spouses, then there is no objection to it.
