It is permissible for the husband to donate his kidney to his sister if it does not cause him harm that would endanger his life. These conditions are mentioned in no. 38125. This act is considered maintaining ties of kinship, which brings blessings and goodness, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever wishes that his provision be expanded for him and his life span be extended, let him maintain his ties of kinship." However, if the conditions are not met, the husband is advised not to donate, and the wife should show her husband the aforementioned fatwa so that he may be convinced.
