what is the Islamic view of 'Surrogate Motherhood

Dear Scholar,Asalam Alaykum, what is the Islamic view of 'Surrogate Motherhood" Is married couple allowed to use this procedure to have a child. I will be very thankful for reply.

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

In the said method the blood clot that is created through the mixing of sperms of husband and wife is entered into the borrowed womb of a strange woman for further growth, which is quite unnatural and impermissible and Haram in Shari'a. Therefore it is essential to abstain from having children by this method.

Allah knows best.
