'''Methods of Artificial Reproduction''' is a book written by Sayyid Mohammad-Riḍā Sīstānī that jurisprudentially examines methods of artificial insemination and the jurisprudential effects and rulings related to it. In this book, the author has tried to resolve the jurisprudential challenges facing artificial insemination and to answer the questions raised regarding the permissibility of artificial insemination or its consequences through analytical reasoning (ijtihad). After examining the reasons presented to prove the forbiddance of artificial insemination, he writes that among the various methods of artificial insemination, it is only forbidden to inseminate the egg with the sperm or stem cell of a stranger (non-mahram) man. To prove this forbiddance, he argues based on the Irtikāz of Muslims (what promptly appears as true to Muslims based on their background of religious knowledge) . Also, this ruling is only a defining law and the child resulting from artificial insemination is always a legitimate child. Sayyid Mohammad-Riḍā Sīstānī is the son of Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Sīstānī, and one of the prominent professors of principles of jurisprudence at the Najaf seminary. This book is one of the pioneering and important works on jurisprudential examination of artificial insemination, which was published in 2007 by Dār al-Muvarrikh al-Arabi publishing house in Beirut. | |||

The book Vasā’il al-Injāb al-Ṣanā‘īyyah is written by Sayyid Mohammad-Riḍā Sīstānī, who has examined and researched the effects of and rulings related to artificial insemination from the perspective of Shia jurisprudence through analytical reasoning (ijtihadi approach). Contents of the book are not compiled based on the common research structure; rather, the writing style is closer to the methods of presentation of the lessons of the highest level courses of the seminary. The topics of the book are organized in three main chapters and a sub-chapter titled appendices. In the first chapter, the legitimacy of different methods of artificial insemination, in the second chapter, issues related to the implementation process of artificial insemination, such as the rulings on touch and looking [at a non-mahram person], and in the third chapter, jurisprudential consequences after pregnancy through artificial insemination have been discussed and investigated. It is noteworthy that the author has also dealt with hypothetical forms in the jurisprudential examination of the problem and has not sufficed with studying the existing methods; for example, pregnancy through maternal stem cell transplantation or egg insemination with plant sperm have also been discussed. At the end of the book, he has written a section titled appendices, in which he has provided explanations about some principles of jurisprudence or the authorities used in the book, such as the rule of the bed (farāsh), examining the reliability of hadith narrators and investigating the authenticity of hadith books.
