The Azhar Fatwa Global Center has announced that it is not religiously permissible for people who have recovered from coronavirus to sell their antibody-rich blood plasma to others who are still infected.
«Selling the blood plasma of a recovered person, taking advantage of the pandemic, is impermissible. The human body, including the flesh and blood, belongs to God, not to the servant, and no one has the right to sell what he does not possess», reads the Fatwa.
The Fatwa was released after experts said that transferring blood plasma from healed people to infected patients would boost their weakened immune systems. Plasma is the liquid component of the blood, in which the blood cells are in suspension and which constitutes 55% of the total volume of the blood. For healed people, plasma can help antibodies developed against coronaviruses.
This fatwa comes after reports that some people newly cured of the coronavirus in Egypt and Iraq demand large sums of money in exchange for their blood plasma to newly infected people.
