My brother!
Two good questions, and before I dive in, let me first apologise to many who have been sending me questions via social media platforms (especially Facebook and X) and have not received a reply. The reason is simple: I have limited time to answer dozens of messages online, since I usually respond to most during my weekly lessons and Tafseer sessions, which I consider more formal and what I can properly manage. I sincerely apologise to all those I have been unable to reply to, in the past, and even in the future.
Now, to your first question: selling your blood: this is impermissible by the consensus of all leading Islamic scholars. The Prophet (PBUH) forbade taking payment for blood (see Sahihul Bukhari, Hadith no. 5962). The hadith refers to money earned by selling blood). For further detail, see the book of Lajnatut Da’imah ( Volume 13, Number 71).
However, donating blood for free, under medical advice and to save a life, is highly commendable, and encouraged for anyone, regardless of his tribe, race, religion or group (see Qur’an, Suratul An’am, Verse 160).
Second question: Selling organs is also prohibited, since your body is a trust from your Creator, Allah. For details, refer to the fatwa of Al-Muntaqa issued by His Eminence, Shaykh Saleh al-Fawzan.
That said, donating an organ to save a life is permissible, but with conditions. The conditions are: it must be an organ on which life does not completely depend on (e.g., a kidney or blood vessel). On the contrary, if it’s vital, like heart, liver or brain, then it is not allowed to donate it, except for someone who has been declared medically dead. (see the Resolution No. 2117 of the Islamic Fiqh Council).
In summary, selling blood or organs is prohibited; giving them away to save a human life is permissible, as long as the donor’s own life does not depend on that organ.
Indeed, Allah is the All-Knowing.

Did you know?
1. "Flies, insects, ants and mosquitoes" never land on his body, let alone of bitting him?
2. He did not "yawn" in his lifetime?
3. Both "domestic and wild animals" were never for a second angry with him?
4. During his "sleep," he heard all "conversations?
5. He could see everything both in "front" and at the "back" at the same time without turning?
6. He was always "one foot taller" than anybody that came "near" him?
7. He was "circumcised, washed and cleaned in his Mother's womb before he has been born to this world?
8. He had no shadow even in the Sun, Moon, or Light?
@PO_GrassRootM@RepRileyMoore For the Nigeria people or the Nigeria Christians?
If they truly love and care for Nigeria Christians, why did they banned them from entering their country?
First, you lied that Muslims were muddering Christians in the North. We debunked that.
Then you extended it to "Christian Genocide", and invented data and statistics, another falsehood, again debunked over time, with data pointing towards more Muslim casualties in the hands of bandits and terrorists.
The whole claim of a Christian Genocide today falls flat to the earth as false.
When you are emotional, people like Drey will exist to guide you with reason. At first, we will be insulted, attacked, and accused.
Today the latest line of attack by the Herd is:
"Terrorist sympathiser"
"CIA babies"
"Baby Panafricanists"
The problem with you people is amnesia. You forget too quickly that you were wrong just last month. Today you are making bolder claims.
Not once in your emotional campaign have you employed critical thinking.
You guys take the same approach over and over again and expect a different result.
Emotions do not solve problems. Critical thinking does.
My position remains that the United States of America will not and can not solve terrorism in Nigeria; instead, its interference will worsen situations in Nigeria, and we have precedents to point to in drawing that conclusion.
You do not need white saviours.
The permanent solution to the Nigerian problem is the Nigerian solution.
And as a matter of fact, the fight against terrorism is a wicked distraction. Nigeria has just one problem, bad representation in government.
Fix that and you fix the rest of the problem.
End!
DSS Arrests Gang Behind Kidnap, Murder of Prof. Ekanem Philip Ephraim
Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Saturday arrested the leader of the gang that kidnapped and murdered a prominent professor of neurology, Ekanem Philip Ephraim, in 2023, a credible security source has confirmed.
The gang leader, Patrick Essien Etim, 23, and his accomplice, Bassey Antiha Asuquo, 40, were apprehended at a medical facility in Cross River State while planning to kidnap another medical bigwig.
According to the source, the DSS had been tracking the kidnap ring since Ephraim's killing in July 2023, when gunmen posing as patients abducted her.
The duo have confessed to the crime, admitting that they killed the professor after collecting multiple ransom payments from her family, the source disclosed.
'It has been two years of torment for her loved ones, not knowing what happened to the Professor. I believe that, with this arrest, her family and loved ones will be able to finally have some peace and the much needed closure that they deserve, the source disclosed.
The suspects, alongside one Isaac Ekpeyong who was also arrested by DSS operatives, also owned up to kidnapping other victims and vandalizing electricity cables.
Recall that Professor Ekanem was abducted on 13th July, 2023 by unknown gunmen who posed as patients at her private clinic at Atimbo Road, Calabar. Her kidnap sparked statewide protests by the state chapter of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA). The medical association had embarked on an indefinite strike, which crippled the health sector for over a week, in a bid to prevail on government to rescue the Professor.
"This huge breakthrough underscores the commitment of the DSS in reverting to covertness in its operations and restoring public safety across the country," declared the source.
This growing environment of impunity has left fulani communities vulnerable for attacks and created conditions where reprisal attacks are almost inevitable. The complicity of the local militias and the failure of government to intervene decisively have deepened the cycle, placing innocent civilians including women and children at the highest risk.
If for once you feel jittery about the attack by enemies of Islam, the supporters of the hate against Islam, you need to relax and understand that it is the Sunnah of Allãh. He'd test us, but Nigeria is our home. Nobody can take it from us. Let the entire Kufr world come together, they cannot snatch Islam out of our hearts nor can they expel it from this land. Instead, Islam would continue to grow, would enter more villages and towns, until the end of time.
Read the Qur'an brothers. Read Surat Bara'a, Ãl-Imraan, and ponder upon the meanings.
Feel how you'd be refreshed and gather yourselves again in the event that you're worried.
ISLAM IS HERE TO STAY.
THE U.S. IS NOT IN NIGERIA TO PROTECT BLACK CHRISTIANS .IT IS HERE FOR STRATEGIC DOMINATION.
By Chief Malcolm EmokiniovonOmirhobo .
Let us stop deceiving ourselves.
The United States of America is not interested in the lives of Black Christians in Northern Nigeria. If it were, it would have pressured the Nigerian government to identify, arrest, and prosecute the sponsors, enablers, and financiers of terrorism, not merely drop bombs and walk away.
The real interest of the U.S. is geostrategic control.
Nigeria is being positioned as a military launchpad for Western-backed regime-change operations against Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger—countries rich in gold, uranium, and other strategic minerals now slipping out of Western control.
This has nothing to do with Christianity.
This has nothing to do with humanitarian concern.
This has everything to do with resources, power, and influence.
History is repeating itself.
Africa is once again being dragged into proxy wars that serve foreign interests, while Africans pay the price in blood, instability, and long-term subjugation.
It is tragic and dangerous that President Tinubu, for personal and political gain, is aligning Nigeria with this agenda and aiding the re-colonisation of Africa through military and economic coercion.
When the dust settles, the U.S. will leave just as it left Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya and Nigeria will be left to deal with the blowback: deeper insecurity, ethnic tension, religious polarisation, and a weakened sovereignty.
Nigeria does not need foreign bombs.
Nigeria needs justice, accountability, and the political will to confront terrorism at its roots.
Africa must wake up.
Nigeria must refuse to be used .
