Question:
The questioner says: A young woman wants to have an eye operation in which she takes a cornea from a deceased person. What is the ruling on transplanting organs from a dead person to a living one?
Answer:
It is not permissible to tamper with the body of a deceased person, because the sanctity of a Muslim in death is like his sanctity in life. Therefore, it is not permissible to tamper with the body of the deceased or to remove his organs. Rather, the deceased is washed, shrouded, prayed over, and buried in the Muslim cemeteries, and his body is not subjected to mutilation, cutting of limbs or organs, or anything else. Yes.
