Fatwa: Organ donation after death allowed by Shariah
The General Dar Al-Iftaa confirms that making a voluntary donation of organs after death is permissible Islamically. It is considered an act of charity and cooperation aimed at saving the lives of patients. This must be done according to Shariah and medical guidelines, which include confirming death, not mutilating the body, obtaining the consent of the heirs, or ensuring there is a prior will. It clarifies that organ donation from the deceased falls under lawful medical treatment and seeks to alleviate the suffering of those in need. It is important to adhere to rules such as not selling organs or receiving financial compensation for them. Additionally, donating organs from living donors requires the donor to be of sound capacity and not to cause harm to oneself. Living organ donations can have ongoing charitable benefits and are considered a form of human solidarity. There have been prior initiatives in this field, including a 2010 fatwa permitting organ donation.
