Q. Under what conditions would it permissible to remove an organ from the body? Not being rude, but please answer as briefly as possible. Or send me a credible reference that i can use to get my response……

A. Simple rules to keep in mind regarding organ removal:

  • The general consensus is that the person giving the organ must be alive
  • It would be given to another human being for valid medical reason
  • The organ would not be sold
  • Donor must not feel threatened or coerced to give any part of their body
  • The giver and recipient would not be farther adversely affected as a result of this procedure.
  • It is best to give the organ to a person that is going to uphold the Greatness of Allah. It would be sinful to knowingly give it to a person that is going to use their new energies against Allah (Subhanahu Wata’Ala)
  • If donor is dead, it is best not to take organs from such a person. Had consent being given, it would still be preferred that the organ was removed whilst the person was alive. Under exceptional circumstances has allowance being given for the acceptance of an organ from the deceased. (We frown upon tampering with the deceased.)

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
