Neco 2017 Islamic Religious Studies Question 28

A recent survey of 200 Islamic scholars on the permissibility of organ transplantation reported that \(68\%\) said it is permissible under certain conditions, \(12\%\) said it is prohibited, and the remaining scholars were undecided. (a) How many scholars said transplantation is permissible? (b) A council requires a two‑thirds majority (i.e., at least \( \frac{2}{3} \) of the scholars) to issue a permissive fatwa. Does the survey provide enough support for such a fatwa? (c) Among the scholars who said it is permissible, \(40\%\) require that donor consent be obtained, while the rest accept transplantation without consent. How many scholars would support transplantation without donor consent, and does this number meet the two‑thirds majority requirement?
