Is it permissible to work as a surgical pathologist?

Answer

Islam prohibits deriving any use from human organs, human parts or tissue in the same way as it prohibits use from any pig parts regardless of the benefits.

The benefits are not denied. In fact, along with confirming the benefits of liquor and gambling, the Qur'aan Majeed prohibits these evils. So while pathology has many benefits, the use of human organs/tissue is not permissible. The Shariah prescribes burial for any human part even nails and hair.

It is not permissible to indulge in the study involving human organs/tissue. The income will not be permissible. We have been sent into this dunya by Allah Ta'ala for a very brief sojourn to prepare ourselves for His Meeting and for our everlasting stay in Jannat. In this world there will always be conflicts between the demands of Allah's Shariah and the desires of the nafs. This world is the arena for this tussle. Imaan is tested, developed or ruined here in this transitory worldly abode.

The Mu'min believes that his Rizq is predetermined, and it will reach him regardless of what he does or does not. In a conflict the devil is always present. He scares us with poverty if we adhere to the Shariah by abandoning haraam. This is the test for our Imaan.

HIDAAYAT

Hidaayat (Guidance) is from only Allah Ta'ala. There were some Ambiya who had managed to guide only one person in their entire life. This does not diminish their honoured status by an iota. There were also some Auliya whom no one had ever recognized. A person who is in conflict with the Shariah in any matter is not a kaamil (shaikh) even if he happens to be an embodiment of miracles. Many yogis display an abundance of supernatural feats. Sometimes a person gains guidance from even shaitaan. (Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi)
