Using medication derived from humans
Question
Is it permissible to use medicine which is derived from humans? Like injecting something to stimulate certain cells/proteins and then getting from them? Perhaps it is not transplant which is prohibited.

Answer
It is not allowed.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
