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

Does passing wind, from the anus without a smell, invalidate prayer?

If a person is certain of having passed wind even if it was with no smell, then both his/her ablution and prayer are invalidated, thus he/she should remake ablution and re-perform prayer.

What is the ruling of Sharia on having an injection to stop the menses considering the fact that she is a challenged person?

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.
We recommend visiting a skilled doctor who fears Allah. If he says that there is no harm in having the injection, then it is permissible to use it. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

An Arab young man had an illegitimate sexual relationship with a Christian American while she was staying in one of the Arab countries. After she returned to America, she told him that she had doubts that she was impregnated by him. It is worth pointing that it is hard for him to get a visa to the USA. What is the ruling of Sharia on this?

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.
Zina (Adultery and extramarital relations) is one of the grave sins that incur the wrath of Allah if the adulterer didn`t make immediate repentance. However, the child isn`t attributed to the adulterer. Rather, he/she is attributed to the woman who got pregnant by him and, according to Sharia, it isn`t considered a legitimate child of the adulterer. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the expiation for perjury?

Perjury is forbidden and one of the major sins that require turning to Allah in repentance, seeking His forgiveness, giving back rights to whom they belong, or seeking their forgiveness, and expiating for that oath.
