What is the ruling on donating organs for the sake of need?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: What is the ruling on donating organs, especially when it is for a need, such as donating a kidney?

Answer:
There is a decision from the Committee of Senior Scholars that if the matter is one of dire necessity, and the donor has permitted the donation of the organ, and it does not harm his health, and he has given permission, and the recipient is in dire necessity, they said there is nothing wrong with it under these conditions: that the recipient is in dire necessity for it, and that the donor permits it, provided it does not harm the donor, because harm is not removed by harm. Yes.
