Day Questions

I just reverted to the Shi'a Islam. I would like to know the Islamic position of vegetarianism?

You can refuse to eat meat even if it is not recommended in some religious texts.

My husband and I are having fertility problems. There are many technologies available to help us have a child. Which technologies permitted in Islam-- egg donation? Is it Embryo Donation from one married couple to us or Sperm donation? If egg donation is permitted, does my husband need to have a temporary marriage with an egg donor?

Based on compulsory precaution, it is not permissible to donate an egg and fertilize it using a sperm from a man without a religious marriage contract between him and the owner of the egg. It is not permissible also based on compulsory precaution to donate a fertilized egg. If this occurs, the embryo belongs to the man that donated the sperm and the woman that donated the egg.
