The answer

This type of insemination is forbidden by and falls under the five categories that the Islamic Fiqh Council (Majma' al-Fiqh al-Islami) declared unlawful in its third session in 1986 CE, due to the resulting mixing of lineages and loss of motherhood. As for the permissible methods, they are those in which insemination occurs between the spouses, whether externally, where the zygote is then implanted in the wife's womb, or internally, by injecting the husband's sperm into his wife's womb.
