What is the ruling on selling human organs from the deceased or their family or from a living person?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Selling human organs is forbidden because they are not owned by the individual or their heirs, and because they are honorable and sacred. Selling them contradicts this honor. Furthermore, opening the door to such practices would lead people to rush into selling their organs without considering the harm.
