Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 05-10-2015

 

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 is the authenticity of the supplication: "O Allah, bring it upon us with blessings and faith, safety and Islam, and success in what You love and are pleased with. My Lord and your Lord is Allah"?
 

On the authority of Talhah Ibn Ubayd Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that the Prophet (PBUH) would say when he saw the crescent moon: "O Allah, let this moon appear over us with blessings and faith, safety and Islam. My Lord and your Lord is Allah."
This was narrated by Tirmidhi (Hadith no. 3451), who said: "It is a Hasan (good) Hadith."
And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

Is housemaid right hand possession?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.
 
Housemaid isn`t right hand possession. Rather, she is a free woman because she is just hired to deliver a service. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a wife to leave her house without obtaining the permission of her husband, and not to come back unless he divorces her co-wife?

It is forbidden for the wife to leave without obtaining her husband`s permission, and it is impermissible for her to ask him to divorce her co-wife as this inflicts harm on the latter and such an act is forbidden in Islamic law.
