Purchasing a kidney from a disbeliever for treatment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person suffers from kidney failure, is it permissible for him to purchase this organ from a disbeliever man for the sake of treatment?

Answer:
Yes, this is a dire necessity, and there is nothing wrong with it. If he finds someone who will give him a healthy kidney that is suitable for him, he pays its price due to the dire necessity.
