What is the Islamic position on surrogate motherhood, which involves “a woman who becomes pregnant usually by artificial insemination or surgical implantation of a fertilized egg for the purpose of carrying the foetus to term for another woman”? i.e., sperm and eggs come from a legitimately married husband and wife, the egg is fertilized, and the embryo/fertilized egg is implanted in a third woman. Is this analogous to wet nursing, which is permissible?
