| dc.description.abstract | One of the striking and strangest innovations; or that, which could be called a developmental civilization is 'artificial insemination7. It is a means of procreation, other and quite different from the natural and notorious way of begetting children. This medium emerged due to certain barriers that may prevent a man having not, the ability to impregnate his wife, to use this scientifically designed medium to bear him a child. The couples bid to uphold the sacred injunction of procreation is not far-fetched as celibacy was out-rightly disregarded under Islamic law (Al-Asqalani 324). However, the religion of Islam has left no stone unturned as it prescribed certain rules that serves as a check on this medium of procreation. Hence, with much ado on its legality, it is the responsibility of these writers to distinguish between what is not lawful under the religion of Islam and that which has been made lawful by the Westerners, all in the name of Civilization. The most important of which is the artificial insemination through the donors and such rights due to the children from this medium among other worthwhile issues to be discussed therein. The study found that the Islamic law accepts 'insemination7 as far as the semen is collected from partners who are legally married. However, Shariah decries or detests artificial insemination by -a donor (where semen is collected form a third party) the effect of which attributed the child bore to his mother. He could, as a matter of law inherits his mother and not the sperm donor. This is simply because there was no valid marriage contract between the duos. In effect, the study recommends that the National/lhe States Houses of Assembly and with particular reference to the states that operates Shariah Legal System, should pass a law to proscribe or criminalizing all forms of donor insemination in both private and public hospitals as its consequence under Islamic law affects at a great deal, the legitimate right of any child bom to live, be it in the natural sense or through the modem means ‘artificial insemination' to inherit. | en_US |
