Is it permissible to donate kidneys after death?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: [An-Nahl 16:43] , so I ask Allah - Mighty and Majestic - to make us among the people of remembrance, and to make you among those who listen to the word and follow the best of it, and then to make us and you all among those who act upon what they have learned; so ask now whatever is easy for you. Please, go ahead.
The questioner: Following up on yesterday's topic regarding kidney donation; is it permissible to donate kidneys after a person dies; to donate one of his organs ... ?
The Shaykh: Had you paid attention to what I mentioned regarding the impermissibility of donation, I had mentioned two reasons yesterday for prohibiting the voluntary donation of a kidney: one of them includes both the living and the dead; namely his prohibition - peace and blessings be upon him - of mutilation, especially since the prohibition of mutilation is first and foremost intended for the dead, for the Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him - once saw a corpse that had been mutilated and he prohibited mutilation. Added to what I mentioned in what I referred to is his saying - peace and blessings be upon him :Sunan Ibn Majah 1616Hasan (Darussalam) , and therefore there is no difference in this ruling between the living and the dead.
Please, raise your voice.
So ask the people of the message if you do not know.
