Me and My Fatwa

Available for over a year

This is the story of the birth of a fatwa. We follow one British Muslim man鈥檚 attempt to have a new fatwa on organ donation issued. Amjid Ali鈥檚 life was transformed when he received a kidney, but he had to wait 23 years to get it because there鈥檚 a lack of Muslim donors. There鈥檚 confusion within Muslim communities over whether organ donation is allowed in Islam and Amjid is trying to get a clear fatwa, providing religious guidance, on the issue. Producer and Presenter: Jo Dwyer
