Organ Donation

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

A. Human Organ: An Amanah
As discussed in chapter ix, there are Muslim jurists who regard the human
body (including its parts) as an amaanah (trust). Therefore, since a human
being does not own his body, he/she cannot make a gift in respect of any
part of his/her body either during his/her lifetime or after death. Thus to
include organ donation in one’s will would not be in order since one cannot
give away that which one does not legally own.

B. Human Organ: Invaluable
The testator’s estate is termed in Arabic as mal mutaqawwam (asset upon
which a price can be set for it). Muslim jurists are of the opinion that a
human being’s person (organs included) is mal ghayr mutaqawwam (invaluable
i.e. no price can be set for it). (Tanzil-ur-Rahmaan. A Code of Muslim
Personal Law. North Nazimabad, Karachi. Islamic Publishers. 1980, vol. 2 p.
330). Thus it logically follows that since no price can be set for human
organ, the inclusion of its donation into one’s will would be regarded as
null and void.

See CP if we go by this opinion … then isn’t it also then wrong to accept organ donation … cuz that way you are rejecting your own organ which was an ammanah and getting one from someone else … or at least thats wat i think … i honest don’t kno how people can be ok accepting organ and there is no shariah law against that but whn it comes to donating everyone has an issue … that sounds just a bit hypocritical to me
