(Translation by Yusra Ahmed)
(Zaman Al Awasl- Arsal)- Nahla Ayosh, a-50-year- old widow from Qusayr in Homs’s countryside, is responsible for 5 daughters, and two granddaughters, lives in a tiny tent in Lebanese border town of Arsal after her husband and only son were killed.
She told Zaman Al Wasl that she received two slaps on her face from an aid worker when she was trying to get some donated food, to decide after that to boycott aid and charity agency, and rely on herself to spend on her family. Therefore, she decided to sell her kidney in order to get enough money to afford for living, and did the required tests to make sure that her kidney would be suitable for donation.
Nahla is not the only Syrian person who thought of selling part of their body to afford for living. Abdel Moeen Bakar, from Qusayr and refugee in Lebanon has decided to sell kidney as well to pay the cost of lawyers and courts in order to free his wife who has been in prison for 3 years, and to get her back to her children.
In regard to organ donation, Zaman Al Wasl talked to Dr. Abdul Majeed Rahal, to obtain a medical opinion about the procedure and the issue. He explained that one kidney is enough for a person, as long as it is healthy and free of stones.
However, Sheikh Mohammed Khair Hajeri explained that selling or trading any part of the body is not allowed in Islam, because the body and all its part are presents from God, but he added that donating body part s is allowed as long as the donation would not harm the donor.
