Organ donation - revisited

Three guidelines for organ donation (i.e. ALL three conditions need to be satisfied simultaneously):

1. As long as you’re NOT harming yourself through donation,
2. as long as you’re NOT doing it for monetary gains, and
3. as long as it is saving someone’s life.

Like I said… this makes a whole lot of sense to me! :k:

Interstingly, religiously speaking, organ donation should not give you any monetary gains but organ snatching (if some one snatches your organ by force) makes you entitled of either asking for his same organ back in return (an eye for an eye kind of deal) or simply ask for Fidyaa.

So is there a loop hole around that concept. If I want to sell my kidney for money, can I go through that alternate route and have somneone snatch that from me so I can get paid

The last time organ donation was discussed in the general section, a quick thread count on the same topic revealed 14… which makes this the 15th thread on the same topic.

Truth be told, we all approach the subject differently and after getting to hear opposing views, I’m content with the realization that there’s no single right answer to this debate.

For me personally, this was really a non-issue for as long as I was first asked. I was 17 when I signed up to be a donor (during renewal of my health card) and at the time, I didn’t even bother to check with my elders or consult the scholarly discourse on this. In my gut I felt right to become a donor and I did. The only thing I was uncomfortable with was opting in as a donor for scientific research and so I restrained from opting in for that.

After doing a little more research into this, I’ve found this answer which makes a whole lot of sense to me - I’ve seen this referenced in a few places…

So lets say a person’s sibling is in bad condition. He donates a kidney. The harming can be a possiblility.But at the same time there is no other match. So what happens then.

. I dont get into fatwas and what not cause people become too emotional but this is how it goes. Please read the whole thing

taking out a useful part of your body, whether you are alive or dead, is haram in islam. But when someone's life is in danger, haram becomes halal, like one can eat pork to save life. Thus at that time giving organ becomes halal.

Because oragn donation in 99.99% of the case happens so a life can be saved, thus organ donation is halal in Islam

and yes, I am sure that it could be considered Sadiqa'e'jaareeya

just curious to know, so doesn’t the ‘opting in to donate your organs for scientific research’ also fulfills the three guidelines that you jotted down??? especially the last one, as sometimes researches on the organs rewards not just one life but many???

as for me, my organs were given to me, they are mine, and i will take them with me to my qabar…
call me selfish or whatever, but thats just how i am

If you read my post above, I said that I decided to be a donor when I was 17... much before I even started to look into scholarly discourse on the issue. On the outset, you're right though - indirectly, scientific research does help save lives too - but I guess, as a personal preference, I'd rather donate to somebody directly to save his/her life.
