The answer

Artificial insemination is permissible out of necessity or dire need, provided certain conditions are met. These include: that the sperm and egg must belong to the husband and wife, and that the egg must be transferred to the wife's own womb. Precautions must be taken, and a trustworthy entity should be sought to perform the procedure. It is not permissible to have the procedure done by an entity whose lack of diligence is feared. The sequence of treatment should also be observed, meaning a Muslim woman should be the practitioner unless there is a necessity. Institutions that perform the procedure can be sought in Islamic countries.
