How do medical students learn surgery in islamic countries where all dead muslims must be buried within 1 day?
I heard there's a rule in Islam that a dead muslim must be buried within one day. Then, my question is, how could medical students in islamic country (e.g. Iran, Turkey, Indonesia) learn about surgery without a corpse (all buried according to islamic tradition)? Please, don't insult Islam here. That's not my purpose for starting this topic.

Not everyone in an Islamic country is a Muslim you know. There are plenty of people of other faiths in those countries as well. I would imagine besides sending them (potential doctors, not cadavers) elsewhere to study, those cadavers that were donated to science would be assumed to NOT be Muslim - otherwise they wouldn't have been donated to science, they would have been buried by the family.

I'm a student in the faculty of medicine in Egypt . Here, there are people who donate their bodies for science as it is a necessary thing . and it's allowed for people to do that because studying medicine is a critical thing for saving lives . and as said in Qura'n (and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people )
