Surrogacy

Question
A woman had a hysterectomy at the age of thirty-four and has three daughters. Is it permissible for her to hire a surrogate for childbirth?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible to rent a woman's womb to carry for others, and this is similar to adultery, and God knows best.
