Date Added : 02-11-2015

 

Resolution No.(151), (16/2010) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Donating Kidneys"

Date: 2/9/1431 AH, corresponding to 12/8/2010 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 ninth session held on the above given date, the Board reviewed the following question:

I`m inflicted with kidney failure, so I undergo renal dialysis thrice a week. I have tried so hard to find a cure to this illness but failed. In fact, I have only one son and he offered to donate his kidney, but I refused in fear for his life. However, a doer of charitable actions heard about my problem and expressed his willingness to save my life by donating me his own kidney?

Answer:

After prolonged deliberations, the Board decided what follows:

The Board reconfirms its earlier resolution No.(10/2008), 29/11/1429 AH, corresponding to 21/11/2008 AD, which stipulates that kidney donation in this case is impermissible because it violates the provisions of Islamic Sharia. This is in addition to the fact that there are other options, such as renal dialysis and a donor from the patient`s kin. Moreover, the Jordanian Law bans donating kidneys to non-relatives. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a husband to stop his wife from visiting her family?

A husband shouldn`t stop his wife from visiting her family, and it is disliked for him to do so because such an act makes them harbor feelings of hatred against him.

I placed my hand on the Quran and made an oath to avoid doing a specific matter, but the devil seduced me. What is the ruling on this?

You are obliged to pay an expiation; feeding 10 poor and the cost of feeing one is half JD. And Allah Knows Best.

Is Buying a house in installments through banks?

Taking a loan from interest-based banks is prohibited and considered a major sin. Instead Getting a loan from Islamic banks is considered Murabaha and can be used as an alternative, provided all the necessary Islamic conditions are met. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

My husband has deprived me of visiting my family and is threatening to take my 7-month-old baby girl. Is he entitled to do so?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
Your question is unclear, but family visitation is a legitimate right of yours. However, if he deprives you from this, try to convince him with wisdom and fair preaching. If there is a problem between you two, try to fix it. As for your daughter, you are most entitled to her custody anyway. Even if he divorced you, the girl remains under your care so long as you don`t get married. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
