Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to donate organs from a living person or from a deceased person? And if it is permissible, is it permissible to take a price for that?
Answer:
As for the deceased, no, this is not like him, and cutting up the organs of the deceased is not permissible. As for the living person, if he is of sound mind and the organ does not harm him, he donates it, and it does not harm him and benefits the recipient, then there is no harm. A decision has been issued regarding this: if the donor is alive, has the legal capacity to dispose of his property, and the organ does not harm him while it benefits the recipient, then there is no harm in that. Yes.
