Tuesday, November 26, 2013 - Islamabad—Mufti Sher AlQadri, research associate has said that Islam is a religion of nature with absolute benefaction for humanity. All injunctions of Islam are for human success in this world as well as in life hereafter and for physical and spiritual welfare of humanity. He was speaking at a Round Table Discussion on the topic “Human Organ Transplantation: Islamic Perspective”, organized by The Muslim Institute here. The event was attended by researchers from different research institutes as well as by participants from collegesand universities.
He said Issues have been discussed in the Holy Quran and Holy Hadith with the view of human good and bliss. Orders of Shariah are also relaxed or even changed, so to say, for a sick or incapacitated person. For example, in extreme illness a person can offer prayers with signs only. In case of severe danger, things which are otherwise forbidden, like blood, dead or even haram become permissible.
He further said in normal circumstances, transfusion of one person’s blood to another person is not allowed. However in a life threatening situation religious scholars have declared it permissible. Nonetheless for merely enhancing physical attraction or strength, the same is forbidden. As for asorgan transplant is concerned, there is consensus among religious scholars that an incapacitated person is allowed to use an artificial organ made of wood or metal.
Similarly there is no harm in transplant of a person’s own organ or its part in his own body. In direly critical situations, transplant of even an animal organ into human body is allowed. With regard to transplant of one person’s organ or its part into another person’s body, religious scholars have two opinions he said.
