Methods of Artificial Reproduction (book): Difference between revisions

'''Methods of Artificial Reproduction''' (in Arabic: [[:fa:وسائل_الانجاب_الصناعیة_(کتاب)|وسائل الانجاب الصناعیة]]) 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.
