Disposing of excised body parts from patients in hospitals

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. The questioner says: We hope for guidance on how hospitals dispose of certain parts of patients' bodies that are excised as a form of surgical treatment, such as the breast, the uterus, the prostate, and others. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
These are wrapped in cloth and buried in the graveyards, because they are to be respected, just as a man's hand if it is cut off, or any organ from a Muslim, is wrapped in cloth and buried in the graveyards to preserve its dignity and not be desecrated. Yes.
