The Ruling on Taking Organs from a Dead Person for Use
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah protect you. You are of the opinion that it is not permissible to take organs from a dead person for the benefit of the living, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): "Breaking a bone of a dead person is like breaking it while he is alive." The question is: If the living person consents before his death to having his organs taken after his death, is the ruling the same? It is known that some organs, such as kidneys, are currently taken from living people.
Answer:
When the Council of Scholars studied this, they ruled that it is disliked to permit it, and I am not of the opinion that it is permissible from any angle. As for the one who is hesitant, I see that it should not be done. It should not be done to mutilate the dead person, nor should anything be taken from him, not an eye, not a leg, not a hand, not a heart, and not a kidney, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This has been established in a hadith narrated by 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This is a form of mutilation. He does not have the right to dispose of his own body even in his lifetime; it is not permissible for him to cut off his finger without a valid excuse, nor to cut off his leg without a valid excuse, because he has a legal status. I am walking.
Take my kidney or take my heart. He has no authority to dispose of his body. It belongs to Allah; it is the property of Allah. When he acts for a benefit, if the doctors see that cutting off the finger is better, or cutting off the leg is better, and that there is no danger to him, and that the most likely outcome is safety for his benefit, then there is no harm. People hear in the last protection that they take his heart and take his hands and take his hands. It is difficult. Yes.
