Question
Here in our college of medicine, students in their 1st and 2nd years, work on dead human bodies. The dead bodies are either donated (i.e. before they die), or the unclaimed bodies of prisoners. Is it permissible to work on these dead bodies. Students usually speak ill of these bodies.
Answer
Zulm (cruelty), Haraam and Najaasat are the natural affinities of Kufr, hence mutilating and desecrating human bodies fit in well with the schemes of the kuffaar. It is haraam to experiment on dead human bodies. It is not permissible to pursue such studies which require experimentation on dead human bodies. It appears that the 'Muslim' students who submit to such bizarre, vile and vicious haraam practices are bereft of Imaan.
