Question
What do the
honourable scholars say regarding the following matter: Medical students
practise and experiment on human dead bodies. How is it for them to
conduct such experiments?
بِسْمِ اللہِ
الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ
الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
It is Haraam and sinful to experiment on human
dead bodies because this is painful for the dead body; a deceased person feels
pain just like a living person. This is also a form of insulting and
humiliating the deceased; the honour and respect of a human remains even after
death. It is not permissible to dishonour the deceased. Furthermore, this involves
mutilation which is also impermissible. In Ahadees,
it has been prohibited to even a Harbi Kafir (disbeliever) during a battle.
Also, this is a cause of delay in the shrouding and burial of the deceased,
which is also impermissible.

اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ
وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
