Muslim Moms' & Egg Banking
Shownotes:
Aneesa Husain is as proactive a Muslimah as we’ve ever met, and we LOVE it. She joins us on our Muslim Moms Overcoming Infertility series this month and has the deets on a few of the reasons why women pursue egg freezing, how to get the process started, and special considerations. We apologize for the coughing because #allergies, and the slight echo because #audiotech sometimes stinks. You can totally stand both because this is MUST KNOW info.
We are getting A LOT of DMs and comments about the legality of fertility options in Islam, and we continue to urge everyone to find their trusted imam for those answers. WE are not qualified to speak on that. But we give space to everyone to share her story, and if it offends you, then it’s probably not for you. If it worries you, it’s meant to. If we aren’t worrying about these issues as Muslim Americans, then we are doing something wrong. No one comes on our podcast to ask for approval. Please don’t drop your fatawa here because we have imams who do that for us when we ask them for help.
Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, or head directly to our website. Find the Shownotes on your podcast app for the helpful links you’ll want for resources and links.
