Roshini we have problems about cornea donation in my country because of some stupid Muftis about 20,000 Egyptians is getting blind annually of the God damn cataract!
i will not talk about liver failure in my country or renal failure with numbers , but when i get a strong position by God's will in my country i will do my best to fight those Muftis and shut them up!
i want to see any of them how he will behave when the cataract blinds him or get renal dysfunction!

Answer 1

I totally agree with organ donation ! i have seen its worth in renal failure patients and now even i don't bother about the Muftis as well........well the first preiority is saving the life of a human who is sometimes the only earning member of the family and he is needed for his family.....So if a simple kidney donations saves his life , its more than blessings.......we believe that Saving one life means saving the whole humanity and yes it is serving the humanity.....Only caution that i think one should take that everything should be legal,the donor should not be compled but he/she should donate it on will, and its should be a donation not business.....i think Allah has kept a great mytery in donation that everyone can not donate the organ and only the close relatives or person with maximum antigen resemblance can donate it , in this way there comes some purification in the process....as the relatives who donate it are always the well wisher and do not take it as business !
Eye donation from cadavers is allowd in my muslim country as well and infact every year such donations are given by Sri lankan governamnet ......and about living donors so it is carried in different department specialy regarding kidneys because in my country renal failure is very common !so kidney transplant is a common practise !

Many Islamic scholars and Jurists have written on the subject of organ transplant. Over the decades, medicine has improved and advanced dramatically, taking medical technology to extreme heights.

Today, through the vast medical advancement, almost any transplant of the human body can be performed. Owing to the technological medical changes, prominent and renowned jurists of the world have carefully analysed the process of organ transplant and upon investigation made the following observations:

1. When any person's limb or organ becomes unusable and that limb or organ is needed to function in the future by a suitable replacement then the following conditions must be considered.

Use of a non-living component.

Use the limb of those animals permissible to eat and slaughtered according to the Islamic rites of slaughter.

There is almost certain fear of loss of life or danger of losing the limb/organ and the replacement is only found in Haraam animals or in permissible animals (which can be eaten) but not slaughtered according to Islamic rites, then use of such a component will be permissible. However, if there is no imminent danger of loss of life then it will not be permissible to use anything from the pig.

2. Similarly, a transplant of any nature whatsoever is permissible from one part to another part of the body of the same person when necessary.

3. The sale of any part of the human body is Haraam.

4. If any ill person reaches a stage that a specific organ becomes unusable (to such an extent) that if a human organ is not replaced into the body then there is an immediate danger of loss of life -- the human organ is the only suitable replacement and medical experts are absolutely certain that besides the human organ, there is no other life-saving substitute and the patients' life is in danger, and the human organ is easily available to the patient, then in that dire need a human organ transplant (to save one's life) will be permissible for the sick.

5. When a perfectly healthy person on the advice of an expert physician confirms that the removal of one kidney will not harm nor cause ill-health whatsoever and considering the deteriorating health of his sick immediate family member which may cause death and there is no other alternate or substitute then this will be permissible with the condition that the kidney be donated and not sold.

The bequest (Wasiyyat) of a person that after his death, his organs be donated is forbidden in Shariah.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Answer 3

The donor should meet the following conditions: -

First: The donor must be able to exercise free will, is in control of all his/her faculties. Donor gives permission without coercion if alive.

Second: The organ donated should not affect his/her own life, which is the property of God alone. No one has the right to donate his or her life to someone else. Nor does he/she has the right to donate an irreplaceable part of his/her body, such as heart or brain.

Third: The donor should not sell his/her organs for cash nor in exchange for other organs of the body, since life and the human body in all its totality is the property of God.

"And whoever saves a life it would be
As if he had saved the life of all the people."
Qur'an, 5: 32

Answer 4

I donate blood to red cross. I am going to do it again next month. I have to wait every 2 months. And when I die, I am going to donate all of my usable organs and miscellaneous. Like my hair to cancer patients(I have braids and my hair is like 1' 1/2" ft long) and all of my blood. I myself see no problem with it. Why would I need it when I am in the hereafter? Someone could really use it. Why be selfish? But I don't see any reason one would need my organ in this life. My mother said that she would rather die early and able than old and unable. If she got really ill, I think she would just let it be. But I donate blood. PEACE!

Answer 5

I am a muslim, an American citizen, and I have that little orange "Organ Donor" sticker on my driver's license just in case. That's my consent. If I die, take em and give them to whoever can stay alive from them. I won't need them anymore, so let somebody who could use it such as a sick child have it.

Answer 6

The Muslim faith neither encourages nor discourages donation. The faith believes it is an individual choice that is supported by the Muslim leaders.

Answer 7

well, I'm Iranian Muslem and I believe that whoever donates, would defenitely go to heaven, cos he/she saves the life of one/several people.It should be accepted from a patient that is living, but is gonna die soon.for example someone who's been in coma for years and there's no hope for him/her to return to life, but this should only be done if that person have stated it before or if his/her family allows doing that.

Answer 8

Yes! only for saving human life with free will.
