Abstract

The research aims to study the topic of “Commercial Surrogacy for Muslims of Bangkok, its Causes, Harms and Solutions: A Jurisprudential Field Study”. This is because this issue occurred among the Muslims of Bangkok as a result of several causes, while being unaware of the exact Sharīʽah rulings related to this issue. This research deals with the study of the reality of surrogacy among the Muslims of Bangkok in terms of its adherence to Sharīʽah rulings, its causes, and effects on the Muslim minority. The researchers used the inductive and analytical approaches and conducted a field study consisting of personal interviews and follow-ups with some Muslims who are involved in commercial surrogacy, in addition to some judges, imams of mosques and members of the Islamic Committee in Bangkok. The researchers divided the research into two main components. They began with highlighting the definition of surrogacy and the basic concepts related to it, then they touched upon its causes, harms, and solutions in the light of Islamic jurisprudence and field study. Among the most prominent findings of this research is that the Muslims of Bangkok are a minority in a society governed by Buddhist authorities, which led to their lack of knowledge of the Sharīʽah rulings, especially the rulings of contemporary issues related to the Muslim family. The researchers expect from the Muslims of Bangkok to correct their understanding of the issue of surrogacy according to Islamic jurisprudence, and to apply it correctly, avoiding the negative effects of disrupting the family in its construction and stability in accordance with the Sharīʽah objectives in preserving the family.
