In order to investigate how the body is imagined in Islam, it may be useful, for our purpose, to resurrect an obsolete mid-17th century verb in order to discuss the specific religious ontological statuses that are attributed to persons and bodies: to {\textquoteright}religionate{\textquoteright} literally means {\textquoteright}to make religious{\textquoteright}. Ethico-religious, social and physical segregation of {\textquoteright}religionated{\textquoteright} bodies often finds its religious justification in the theological or religiolegal realms. The chapter focuses on the {\textquoteright}religionated{\textquoteright} meaning of bodies. Bodies still often retain their {\textquoteright}religionated{\textquoteright} constructions in contemporary fatwas on such issues as blood and organ donation, organ transplant, or dissection of cadavers for medical training.},
