Will the death of a full-term baby girl, born after an IVF procedure, admit her parents to Paradise? And was her death due to impatience over delayed pregnancy and resorting to the IVF procedure? And is it permissible to resort to the IVF procedure again?
Patience at the death of a miscarriage is greatly rewarded, and it may indicate that it is a cause for entering Paradise and salvation from Hellfire, for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: «BY THE ONE IN WHOSE HAND IS MY SOUL, THE MISCARRIED CHILD WILL DRAG ITS MOTHER BY ITS UMBILICAL CORD INTO PARADISE, IF SHE SEEKS REWARD FOR IT.» The death of a miscarried child is not caused by seeking pregnancy through IVF. Your pursuit of procreation through permissible means is not considered an objection to divine decree, nor does it contradict patience and acceptance of it. Rather, it is part of Allah's decree. There is no harm in resuming the attempt to conceive through IVF, provided it adheres to guidelines.
