Resolution No. (194) (2/2014) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies

Date: (7/ Rabia 1st./ 1435 AH)  corresponding to(9/1/2014  AD)

 Prohibiting the  removal of the uteri of challenged girls, and society`s responsibility towards them

 

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, Prophet  Muhammad and  upon  all his family and companions:

The Iftaa` Board, in its 11th session held on Thursday (7 /Rabia1st./ 1435AH) corresponding to  (9/1/2014AD), reviewed  the issue of Sharia ruling on removing  the uteri of mentally challenged girls  under the pretext that such procedure relieves them from health problems and maintains  their personal hygiene. Therefore, the Board has considered  the views of  specialized educators and physicians, and consequently realized the negative effects of such operations. After careful review  and deliberation, it decided the following:

It is only  permissible to remove an organ of Allah`s ,The Almighty`s, creation  in cases that are treated with such procedure. As regards mentally and physically challenged girls, the Board sees no excuse allowing such operations which involve interfering with Allah`s creation, surgical risks,  and negative effects which facilitate abuse and harm  to those girls.

It is incumbent upon the parents and guardians  to take care of their challenged daughters   and keep them out of harm’s way. Societies are also responsible for  protecting  them against all kinds of exploitation and enacting laws necessary to ensure that  end since it is their right to be taken care of, so that the sin of those in charge of them is not multiplied once these girls are being abused. This requires all members of society to exercise patience with such  group  of people and seek reward from Allah for facilitating their life for the Prophet(PBUH) said in this regard: “Everyone of you is a guardian, and responsible for what is in his custody..”{Al-Bukhari and Muslim}.And Allah knows best.
