Question
testicles taken from a person who has recently died, especially when this could be the
solution for a person who is suffering from sterility?
Praise be to Allah.
The Islamic Fiqh Council answered this question as follows:
Transplanting reproductive glands. Because the testicles and ovaries
continue to carry and produce the genetic characteristics (DNA) of the original donor even
after being transplanted into a new body, the transplanting of reproductive glands is not
permitted according to Islamic sharee’ah.
Transplanting reproductive glands. Because the testicles and ovaries
continue to carry and produce the genetic characteristics (DNA) of the original donor even
after being transplanted into a new body, the transplanting of reproductive glands is not
permitted according to Islamic sharee’ah.
Transplanting other parts of the reproductive organs. Transplanting
parts of the reproductive system which do not transmit DNA (with the exception of the
private parts themselves) is permissible in cases of legitimate necessity as long as the
relevant rulings and regulations of sharee’ah are adhered to.
