Abstract

Advances in reproductive technology have generated new questions regarding maternal status in the practice of surrogate motherhood, particularly concerning the distinction between genetic and gestational mothers. This study aims to reconstruct the concept of motherhood in the Qur’an and examine its implications for such practices. The research is qualitative and library-based, employing the thematic exegesis (tafsîr mawdhûʿî) method of al-Farmawi through the collection and analysis of key Qur’anic verses. The findings indicate that the Qur’an conceptualizes motherhood as a multilayered relational structure: birth as the ontological foundation, gestation as the ethical foundation, breastfeeding as a juridical extension, and lineage (nasab) as its genealogical consequence. Within this framework, traditional surrogacy is considered incompatible with Islamic kinship principles due to the occurrence of ikhtilâth al-nasab (lineage mixing), while gestational surrogacy still raises questions regarding the determination of maternal status. The interpretation of QS. al-Mujâdilah [58]:2 associates motherhood with the woman who gives birth, and the notion of the womb as qarârin makîn affirms pregnancy as a maternal relation that cannot be contractually transferred. Accordingly, the Qur’anic construction of motherhood transcends a purely genetic approach and provides a conceptual basis for addressing modern reproductive bioethics in Islam.
