This article discusses the advancement of reproductive technology, especially in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogate motherhood, and their legal, ethical, and religious implications. IVF and surrogate motherhood are technologies that offer solutions for couples facing infertility problems, but also pose major challenges in social and moral aspects. This article uses a descriptive approach to analyze various perspectives related to these practices, including the Islamic view that tends to allow IVF with certain conditions, but rejects surrogate motherhood. This study finds that although reproductive technology offers new hope, it is important to adjust regulations by considering legal, medical, and religious values ​​so that this technology can be applied wisely and humanely.

Gestational surrogacy is a form of surrogacy in which a woman carries and gives birth to a child without any genetic relationship to the baby. In this process, the egg from the biological mother and the sperm from the biological father are combined through in vitro fertilization (IVF), and the resulting embryo is implanted into the surrogate mother's womb. After giving birth, the surrogate mother hands the baby over to the couple or individual who arranged the surrogacy, in exchange for financial compensation for her service. Although gestational surrogacy offers several benefits, this practice raises numerous questions from an Islamic perspective, such as its legality, the lineage of the child born, and the social and ethical impact it has on the Muslim community. This paper focuses on analyzing Islamic views on gestational surrogacy and the accompanying implications of Sharia law. The article employs a qualitative method with discussions covering the definition of surrogacy from an Islamic perspective, Sharia legal analysis of surrogacy practices, as well as the social and ethical impact that arises in the Muslim community.
