Resolution No.(166)(7/2011) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling of Sharia on Donating Part of the Liver"

Date: 26/8/1432 AH, corresponding to 28/7/2011 AD.

 

 

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

During its eleventh session held on the above given date, the Board reviewed the ruling on donating part of the liver and decided that it is permissible provided that the conditions of Sharia in this regard are met. Rather, the Board is of the view that whoever does this out of kindness towards a patient, who is really in need for it, will be rewarded by Allah. Allah, The Almighty, Says (what means): "and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people." {Al-Mai`dah/32}.

The conditions of Sharia as far as this issue is concerned are as  follows:

1- The donor should be a responsible person.

2- Taking this part from the donor`s liver doesn`t inflict any harm on his life since the Sharia maxim in this regard reads: (Harm shouldn`t be eliminated  by inflicting reciprocal harm). Therefore, it is imperative to consult specialized expert doctors at each case.

3- It is donated out of charity, not in exchange for a material profit.

4- Transplanting this part of the liver is the only medical means to cure the patient.

5- The operation is most likely to be a success. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What are the benefits of slaughtering an Aqeeqah?

All Perfect Praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.

Extending thanks to Allah for His grace, expressing happiness for having a newborn, declaring lineage, and feeding the mother to compensate for the blood that she had lost during delivery.

I said to my wife: "You are forbidden to me in bed as is my sister." What is the ruling of Sharia on this?

You have to fast for two consecutive months before having an intercourse with her. If you can`t, then you have to feed sixty poor persons; a meal for each that is equal half a JD. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

I am a disabled woman who has vaginal discharges and can`t control her urine. Therefore, I combine prayers. Is that permissible?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his family and companions. According to the Hanbali doctrine, it is permissible for the sick to combine prayers. In your case(Asker), it is better that you delay the noon prayer until a few minutes before the afternoon prayer in order to minimize the time span between the two and perform each alone. In addition, you can do the same with sunset and evening prayers. Finally, we ask Allah to bless you with recovery. And Allah knows best.

Is it permissible for a woman to wear colored lenses?

Wearing colored lenses for treatment is permissible, and wearing them as an adornment is also permissible, provided that she isn`t seen while having them on by non-Mahrams(Marriageable men).
