Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Are the human body parts owned by the person?

Answer:
No, they are not owned by him, and it is not permissible to sell his body parts; it is forbidden for him. However, if he donates them to someone in need of them, and they do not harm him, there is no harm in that. As for selling them and saying, "It is my property," it is not your property; it belongs to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
