The ruling on donating organs after death

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on donating organs after death? And is it a form of ongoing charity?

Answer:
A person does not own himself; he belongs to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Therefore, he does not donate any of his organs after death, and he has no authority over his organs after death, just as he has no authority over his wealth after death. His wealth is in the state of being left behind, and he has no authority over it, and he has no authority over his organs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade mutilation. Mutilating a funeral or a corpse by cutting off its organs is not permissible, because the deceased has sanctity. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is not permissible. It is only permissible in life, in the case of dire necessity. In his life, in the case of dire necessity, if a relative or a Muslim from among the Muslims needs one of his organs, and he is not harmed by it, such as donating a kidney, or donating something from his organs that his brother or relative benefits from, and he is not harmed by it, and it benefits the recipient, then if the doctors determine that, it is permissible with these two conditions: that the one from whom it is taken is not harmed, and that there is benefit for the recipient. This is in the life of the person. As for after his death, he does not donate, and he has no authority over himself, nor over his body. Yes.
