Infertility is an issue that has caused a new discussion in medical and nonmedical sciences, and, consequently certain legal and juridical issues have been created in human society especially current Iranian society. The aim of this research is to examine juristic and legal basis of medical fertilities, especially the principles of its license among couples and its lack of acceptance among aliens.

The result of this research indicates that responding to the human instinct to have children, reduction of family hardship and problems of society, challenging natural processes of human creation, destruction of the family (the most important unit of society) and ignoring principles like justiceare the main reasons of Muslim scholars’ apposition to accept the methods of medical fertility among aliens.
