Sharia's goal: Protecting human life
The General Fatwa Department has confirmed that donating organs after death to save lives is permissible Islamically. It is considered an act of charity and kindness that aligns with the Islamic goal of preserving human life. They clarified that in this context, organ donation falls under permissible medical treatment. They also noted that a patient’s need for an organ transplant can outweigh a poor person's need for money, emphasizing that Islam encourages easing hardship and performing good deeds for others. The fatwa stipulated that certainty of the donor’s death must be established, the body should not be disfigured, and there should be a written will or the approval of the heirs. Additionally, the success of the procedure must be confirmed, and it is forbidden to sell organs or receive monetary compensation for them. They also indicated that donation from living individuals is permissible provided the donor is psychologically sound and not harmed, and that no sale or barter occurs. Furthermore, it was pointed out that organ donation represents a noble form of social solidarity, especially with the advancements in medical technology that enable the transplantation of many organs and thus save many lives.
