Question:
Is it permissible for female medical students to perform an autopsy on a dead man?
Answer:
There is a decision from the Committee of Senior Scholars that has been distributed to the universities and the hospitals: it is not permissible to perform an autopsy on the body of a Muslim, and the state is able to obtain other bodies in which the male and female students can learn.
As for the body of a Muslim, it is not permissible; because he is respected in life and in death, and the state is able to obtain the bodies of disbelievers who have no sanctity; for the purpose of learning.
