Donation of Organs after death

This issue needs a lot of elaboration but briefly, the Fiqh Council of the Muslim World League, allowed organ donation and transplantation in its 8th session held between 28 Rabi` Al-Thani-7 Jumada Al-Ula, 1405. The Fiqh Academy of the Organization of the Islamic Conference in Jeddah, during the year 1408, and the late Mufti of Egypt Dr. Sayyed At-Tantawi also allowed the use of the body organs of a person who had died in an accident, if the necessity requires the use of any organ to cure a patient, provided that a competent and trustworthy Muslim physician makes this decision.

 

It is important to note that most of the jurists have only allowed the donation of the organs. They do not allow the sale of human organs. Their position is that the sale of human organs violates the rules of the inherent dignity and honour of the human being, and so it would be haram (forbidden) in that case.
