KONTROVERSI BAYI TABUNG DALAM ISLAM : Telaah Kritis Hadis Tentang Reproduksi

In vitro fertilization (IVF) technology has become a medical solution for couples experiencing infertility. However, this practice has raised controversy among Islamic scholars, especially regarding the validity of the process in the eyes of Islamic law. This study uses a hadith criticism approach, both from the sanad and matan aspects, to examine hadiths related to reproduction and their implications for the practice of IVF. The results of the study indicate that although there is no explicit hadith regarding IVF, the principles of Islamic reproductive ethics can be traced through a contextual understanding of the related hadiths. In conclusion, the practice of IVF is acceptable according to sharia if it is carried out within the limits that are in accordance with the maqashid sharia and does not violate the principle of lineage.
