Pakistan's Council of Islamic Ideology (CII), a constitutional body, has decreed that Islam does not permit organ transplantation since it finds no mention in Islam's holy book, the Quran.
The two bodies termed the bill "unconstitutional" and added that under the Islamic Sharia, it was "worthless". They hold that any practice not sanctioned in the Quran -- said to be revealed by God to Prophet Muhammad through Gabriel, the angel, more than 13 centuries ago -- is un-Islamic.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
