Q: I would like to know whether stem cells are allowed in Islam. In this case I would be storing it for my heirs only. Furthermore I would like to know whether a medical aid scheme is allowed. The medical aid portion is only a hospital plan. No insurance. Please advise whether the above is allowed and if not please comment in detail why not.
A:
- If it is extracted from blood, it will be permissible.
- Refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/1514
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
