A
      sterile man agreed to let his wife have children from the sperm of another
      man
Question

                A
      person was infertile, and the doctors told him, you do not have any sperm.
      He went abroad and made an agreement to take sperm from someone else and
      place it in his wife’s womb, without telling her. She gave birth, and
      she does not know the truth. Then he repented to Allaah and he is asking
      what he should do.
Praise be to Allah.We put this question
      to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah preserve him),
      who answered as follows: 
      
      
      Of course these are not his children.
       
      
      Question: He knows
      that the sperm did not come from him.
Answer: They are not
      his children. Some scholars say that if a zaani claims his child as his
      own, the child may be named after him, but this is not his child. He is
      not like a zaani, because in the case of a zaani the sperm comes from him,
      but this sperm did not come from this man. He has to disown these children
      and give them to the government or do something with them (by putting them
      in a place where they will be taken care of or giving them to a charitable
      organization which will sponsor their upbringing).
 Question: Shall
      we tell him, you should not call them after yourself (give them your
      name)?
Answer: Yes, (tell
      him) to disown them, and give them to the government, or let them stay
      with their mother, on the condition that they are not named after this
      man.
      
      
      Question: Does the hadeeth “the child is for the bed” apply in this
      case?
      
      
      Answer: No, it does not apply.

      We ask Allaah to keep us safe and sound. This is one of
      the (crimes) which modern civilization has committed against people’s
      lineages and honour, and one of the ways in which it has deceived people.
      Social disasters of this sort are the expected result of the sins of
      lying, forgery and deceit which this man has committed against his wife.
      How could he have done this thing, which is forbidden by sharee’ah, and
      which goes against the shar’i aims of protecting lineages and against
      his own manhood? This is a particularly ugly way of cooperating in sin and
      transgression and taking part in falsehood, on the part of the donor or
      vendor of the sperm, and the criminal doctor who agreed to do the
      operation. It is to Allaah that we complain when religion becomes a
      stranger in people’s lives and the immoral enemies of Islam prevail. And
      Allaah is the One Whose help we seek.
