Would a Muslim let his child(brother, mother, sister, himself etc) be saved by organ transfer from a genetically engineered pigs??

If you are a Muslim please tell me. Would your child die because your religion forbids helping him???

How can a pig be a filthy animal? If they wanna make human part out of it.

yawn...... if you put a organ in you it is much more part of you then eating it.

please think about.........

(((says not to EAT of the flesh or touch it)))ok???

Answer 1

No, this is not true at all, and it even says so in the Quran. The Quran says not to EAT of the flesh or touch it, but if it must be done out of necessity for survival then there is no sin upon you. Life is sacred, and it's to be saved at any cost possible. Here are the verses.

[002:173] He only prohibits for you the eating of animals that die of themselves (without human interference), blood, the meat of pigs, and animals dedicated to other than GOD. If one is forced (to eat these), without being malicious or deliberate, he incurs no sin. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

[005:003] Forbidden for you (to eat) are (unslaughtered) dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine and animals slaughtered in the name of beings other than Allah. (Also forbidden are) animals that die as a result of strangulation, violent blows or fall from a height, as well as animals gored to death or (partially) eaten by wild beasts _ unless you salvage (and slaughter) them (before they die). Also forbidden are animals slaughtered before idols, altars and monuments (dedicated to beings other than Allah) as well as meat distributed by resorting to raffle. These are sins. Today, the unbelievers have given up hope about (wishing) your faith (away). Do not fear them; fear me! I have this day perfected your way of life for you, and I have completed My favor upon you. I have chosen Islam _ (submission) _ to be your religion. If one is compelled by hunger (to eat the forbidden food) _ and not by a desire to deviate and debauch _ then of course Allah is the most Forgiving and the most Merciful.

[006:145] (Oh Muhammad, SAW) say, “In the revelation sent to me, I find nothing that prohibits anyone from eating anything except: the (unslaughtered) dead animal, blood poured forth (at the time of slaughter), the flesh of swine because it is filthy, and the sinful food presented as an offering to beings, other than Allah. But if one is compelled by dire need _ and not by haughtiness or habit _ then of course Allah is the most Forgiving and the most Merciful.

Answer 2

Why? Do muslims usually yell into the burning fire first "I am a muslim, do you want help?". Your question is goofy at best. I don't "hate" anybody - go practice your muslim religion if thats what you want; that said, I don't appreciate the fact that Americans are being indoctrinated into believing that of a certainty their new "muslim brothers and sisters" will love and cherish them as such. What a crock of ****. Not everybody is stupid. Those Americans who do not know any better had better wake up to the fact that if an enemy cannot get you with a missle, (or planes flown into buildings) their next attempt would be to attack us from within. Those who convert to these religious groups, are as much as opening our doors (wide open) so that they can just waltz right in. We have not gotten attacked since 9/11 (Thank you very much, President Bush) what is it you think that the terrorists changed their minds and don't want you dead?? Wake up sleepy Americans. Oh, the rest of your silly question: On the flip side of the coin, I ask you: Do you think I or any other citizen of this Nation would care whether YOU are a muslim or not when you are trapped in a fire? Are you so ignorant as to think ANY OF US WOULD YELL IN FIRST: "Let me know if you're a muslim so I don't help you". If you believe that in your heart, then you don't know much of anything, do you? Ya know, I don't really like even sounding offensive to anyone, but you're question written as it is, deserves such an answer.

Answer 3

Our religion forbids eating pigs because it's not healthy to do so

now, I'm no doctor, but I could tell you this: if the organ is safe to be planted in my brother, sister, father...etc, then I have absolutely no problem is doing so

Islam is a caring religion, and it cares most about it's followers' well being, as well as others too

Answer 4

Muslim or no, I thank God for Doctors and their willingness to help the infirmed, anyway they can.
