| Answer: Organ donation is a matter that has arisen in
recent times due to advances made in the fields of science and technology.
Obviously, the Sharī‘ah does not contain anything in the affirmative or in the
negative about it. In all such cases, the principle is that the issue shall be
viewed in the moral and ethical perspectives, and if anything is found unethical
or immoral about it, it will be abstained from.
Organ donation, in my opinion, has nothing immoral or
unethical about. On the contrary, it is a very noble gesture on the part of the
donor. He is actually helping one of his fellow brethren who is handicapped in
some form. Therefore, I would strongly recommend it as this deed would hopefully
also reap great reward in the Hereafter for the donor.
