The answer

Detached human body parts should be buried to honor and preserve human dignity, such as hair, nails, blood, teeth, foreskin, and placenta. This is indicated by the general meaning of Allah's Almighty saying: "And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on land and sea and provided them with good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference." Furthermore, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded that his blood be buried.
