Ruling on transplanting a kaafir heart into a Muslim

Question: 6431

3mth old son just recevied a heart transplant because his old heart was not developed properly. My question is: He has a non-muslim heart beating inside of him, is it ok? Or did we make a wrong decision to have had the transplant?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

We put the following question to Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen:

Is there any objection (in sharee’ah) to transplanting the heart of a dead kaafir into a Muslim body?

He, may Allaah preserve him, answered as follows:

No, because this organ is not the seat of disbelief or faith.

Was this answer helpful?
