Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A man was afflicted with liver cancer, and the doctors advised him to have a liver transplant. The question is: Is it permissible to have a liver transplant, even if it is from the liver of a disbeliever?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. The body of a human being is pure, whether he is a disbeliever or a Muslim. His body is pure, whether he is a disbeliever or a Muslim, and his organs are pure. The human being is pure, and his organs are pure. Yes. But the impurity of the disbeliever[At-Tawbah 9:28] is a spiritual impurity, an impurity of belief and shirk (associating partners with Allah), not an impurity of the body. Therefore, you eat what the disbelievers prepare and wear what the disbelievers weave, because their moisture, their hands, and their work are pure and contain no evil. Yes.
