Question:
I want to donate a kidney to my close friend, but my husband is strongly against, claiming that he cares for my health and well-being, and that I can continue to care for our children, on the other hand I have a desire to donate a kidney to save my friends life, my question is, for saving a live by donating my kidney can it be againts my husband’s opinion?
Answer:
Since there is no halachic obligation to donate a kidney (it’s just a huge mitzvah to donate), your husband’s wishes must be taken into account.
