Question 45 NECO • 2018 • ISLAMIC_RELIGIOUS_STUDIES • objective

A 30‑year‑old Muslim patient requires a kidney transplant. The only compatible donor is his non‑Muslim brother who offers the organ for a nominal fee of 200,000 Naira to cover medical expenses. Discuss the permissibility of accepting the kidney under Islamic law, considering (i) the principle of saving life (darura), (ii) the prohibition of riba and commercial sale of organs, (iii) the concept of consent, and (iv) the condition of the fee being merely to cover expenses. State whether the transplant is permissible and under what conditions.

Answer Options

A. Impermissible (haram) unless the transplant is performed completely free of charge and the donor is a non‑relative, regardless of consent or life‑saving need.
B. Impermissible (haram) because any monetary transaction for an organ is considered riba, even if it only covers medical expenses.
C. Permissible (halal) only if the donor receives no payment whatsoever; any fee, however small, renders the transplant prohibited.
Correct Answer D. Permissible (halal) if the payment only covers actual medical expenses, the donor consents, and the transplant is needed to save the patient's life.
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Permissible (halal) if the payment only covers actual medical expenses, the donor consents, and the transplant is needed to save the patient's life.
