One problem of artificial impregnation or artificial reproduction techniques. (ART) is lack of formulated laws and rules in Islamic countries, including iran, where laws must be compatible with and raised by Islamic principles and essentials. Since artificial reproduction is among new problems, it naturally cannot be traced back in works of preceding jurists, and since a need for law-formulation is researches done in order to assist lawmakers in this regard, this essay surveys a fundamental axis of that subject. Genealogy caused by artificial impregnation through an alien agent is presented in this essay in order to find out whether it is joined to genealogy caused by adultery or that of marriage? In other words, the born child should be treated as illegitimate or as legitimate? If the latter, the child will naturally enjoy all rights of “descendants”. Prohibition of marriage of the female child with father and attribution of the child to mother are among considerable issues of the subject in question. It is worthy of reminding that various conditions necessitate their own specific necessities.
