Transplants and Transfusions

Hair transplant

Q: You had answered my question that hair transplant is not permissible in Islam which made me so confused because I am under the impression that hair transplant is using a person's own hair to transplant in the bold area, so how can this be not allowed? I understand that hair wig is not allowed but hair transplant is medical treatment to inject a person's "own hairs". Please clarify.

Donating bodies, organs and blood

Q:

1. Is it permissible to donate organs? For example, if a family member or a friend is in need of a kidney, are you allowed to donate your kidney?

2. Is it permissible to donate a body for medical research?

3. What is the Islamic ruling for donating blood?

4. If a family member is on a ventilation machine and there is no hope of recovery, is it permissible to disconnect it?

Hair transplant

Q: I am a 25 year old male that is experiencing hair loss. I have tried shampoos, creams, tablets as well as hair lazer therapy in order to stimulate hair growth. However none so far has given the desired effect. The other option I am aware of is hair transplant. With the hair transplant there are 2 routes that I can choose. The first option, they take my own hair and transplant it to the areas with less hair, however at my age I have been advised not to go with it. The second option is a Fibre synthetic material which is not human hair which can be transplanted via a non surgical method. My question is, would it be permissable to go with the second option: Fibre synthetic material?

Hair transplant

Q: Could you please tell me if its permissible in Islam to have a hair transplant as I have a very receding hair line and sometimes feel like I am gradually getting bald and being a woman I really stress over it?
