Buying and selling of Bones

Question:
Assalamu alaikum wr
Is it permissible to buy real skull and other bones of the body for study purposes?
Answer:
و علیکم السلام و رحمة الله و بركاته.
It is haraam to buy and sell human body parts. If it is a necessity for you to buy for doing your studies, and you cannot get them in any other way, then you can do so, but it will still be haraam.
Furthermore, you can not sell them further and you should simply donate them to someone else.
Also, you can ask your senior students to give you these bones free of charge, and you will give them a gift for the value of the bones.
