Donating Organs After Death and During Life
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is called the transplantation of human organs. He says: Is it permissible for a person to donate his organs after his death for these purposes?
Answer:
After his death, he does not have authority over himself and does not donate anything after his death. As long as he is alive, he may donate one of his organs, provided that he does not suffer harm and that it benefits the recipient. These are the two conditions: that it benefits the recipient and that he does not suffer harm from that organ.
