Question

My husband has two wifes. I have two sons while the other wife has no children. My husband is forcing me to give one of my eggs so that he can produce a test tube baby and put this in the uterus of the other wife. I am not happy with this. Is this allowed in Islam?

Answer

It is haraam for you to do it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
