Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man from Britain says that his young daughter is ill and needs an operation. The doctors said that it is necessary to implant tissues and veins for this patient taken from a pig, and she is in urgent need of this, as her operation is in two days. So he asks about the ruling on this?
Answer:
This was issued in a decision by the Committee of Senior Scholars that if nothing is available except a part of the pig, and if left, he is feared to die, then this is permissible due to dire necessity from the perspective of dire necessity. But if an alternative other than parts of the pig is found, then this is not permissible. It is only permissible in the case of extreme dire necessity when nothing else is found and if left, he is feared to die. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, it is discussed. Sometimes it is from a part of the pig. It was said: If the treatment depends on it and if left, he is feared to die, is it permissible due to dire necessity? Yes.
