Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is it permissible in Islamic law to benefit from the organs of a deceased person, or is it forbidden? And what is your guidance regarding what is happening in our time? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The deceased has the same sanctity as the living; it is not permissible to transgress against him by taking his organs, because he has sanctity after his death. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1616Hasan (Darussalam). Therefore, it is obligatory to refrain, and what is obligatory now is to leave the deceased, his body, and his organs alone, and to do with his funeral what Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has prescribed if he is a Muslim, such as washing him, shrouding him, praying over him, and burying him in the Muslim cemeteries with kindness and respect for his name and his grave. Yes.
