Are we allowed to sell/ donate eggs and sperm to help others
-
I was on this website which was basically about urging people to donate eggs to help women who cannot have children.
I'm not sure what happens, but it said it's for women who have no success with IVF , women affected by premature menopause and for cancer treatments.
Would it be wrong according to the Qur'an to donate eggs for the reasons mentioned? Why and why not? State your reasons.
Also, if anyone says donating eggs is adultery I would have to disagree because a woman donating her eggs will not be sleeping with anyone rather, she'd just be donating the eggs to a couple. Wouldn't this be just like for example donating blood, plasma, platelets etc. to someone else?

They cant have children for a reason. Let them pray for a child. If GOD wants He will gift them a child. This is how its done on the qur'anic basis. Changing a decree can backfire terribly.
It would be best if they adopt a child. There are a lot of orphans and abandoned babies.

Greetings and peace, all group
From a Qur'anic standpoint, I don't see anything wrong with it. Would a blind person be discouraged from an eye transplant? Are we going to be like the people of Moses (peace upon all Prophets) when they kept asking for details on a calf? Even if sperm or egg were donated, the other half would be biologically related to the couple. Yes, adoption is meritorious--but it isn't the only way.
4817 There is no burden on the blind, nor is there any burden on the cripple, nor is there any burden on the sick. And whoever obeys God and His messenger, He will admit them into gardens with rivers flowing beneath them; and whoever turns away, He will punish him with a painful retribution.
The almighty has allowed science to progress. We shouldn't neglect the gifts of the Almighty, such as modern medicine.
ALLAH knows best.
peace
