Is it permissible to dissect a dead body for the sake of testing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What happens in medical colleges is that they greatly need to dissect bodies, dead bodies, and practical tests are conducted on them?

The Shaykh : This issue has no connection to the previous topic. Mutilation is forbidden. We even told you that it is not permissible for a deceased person to donate any of his organs to another. Were you not present that day? Leave aside whether they need it or not; this is not our concern. We are not discussing it. If they wish, they can ask about it. That is enough; let us close it, since the discussion has expanded.
