The bequest to donate one's body for dissection
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 9421 )
Q1: Is it permissible for a Muslim to bequeath that if he dies, he donates his body to a scientific institute or a university? And is it permissible for a student to dissect a dead body and separate its parts from one another, as is done now in Europe ?
A: It is not permissible for him to bequeath the donation of his body to a scientific institute or a university for it to be dissected. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
