Bequeathing to donate his body for scientific research

Q 1: Is it permissible for a Muslim to bequeath his children to donate his corpse to a scientific institute or a university? Is it permissible for a student to dissect a corpse and cut its parts as it is done in Europe?


(Part No. 16; Page No. 325) A: It is not permissible for him to bequeath that his corpse should be donated to a scientific institute or a university to be dissected. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
