Islam's organ-donation rulings are a modern fiqh success story: from initial hesitation to a broad, reasoned permission. The International Islamic Fiqh Academy (1988), Al-Azhar, national councils from Saudi Arabia to Turkey to Indonesia, and the UK's Muslim scholarly bodies have permitted donation — living and posthumous — under conditions: genuine medical need (donation must be for treatment, not commerce), informed consent, no harm to a living donor, no sale of organs (the organ is not property — payment for the organ itself is prohibited, though expenses may be covered), and, for cadaver donation, that death be established by accepted criteria. The Quranic foundation is 5:32 — saving one life equals saving humanity — plus the cooperation command (5:2); the classical obstacles (the body's sanctity, burial speed) were resolved through the overriding logic: the deceased's dignified treatment does not forbid the surgery that saves the living. Muslim countries now run active transplant programs (Saudi Arabia's center is decades old), and the fatwa campaigns accompany them: donation is framed as sadaqah jariyah — ongoing charity — since the donated kidney keeps 'giving' after death, a framing Muslims find beautiful and motivating.

Book of Repentance (Sahih Muslim)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said Allah rejoices more when you return than a man who finds water in the desert. Islamic tradition holds that tawbah is always accepted for those who sincerely seek it.

No tradition holds that; these answers settled, the traditions encourage donation.
No tradition holds that; these answers settled, the traditions encourage donation. Islam's scholars note the body returns to dust regardless, and burial dignity is preserved in procurement surgery.
Is selling an organ permitted?
No — every tradition here prohibits organ sales: organs are not property to be sold, and exploitation of the poor is condemned across the board.
No — every tradition here prohibits organ sales: organs are not property to be sold, and exploitation of the poor is condemned across the board. Donated is required; covering expenses is fine. The prohibition protects the poor from becoming spare parts.
What is the Jewish brain-death debate about?
A technical halakhic question: what establishes death — the whole brain (including brainstem), per most transplant criteria, or the heart's stopping, per classical sources.
A technical halakhic question: what establishes death — the whole brain (including brainstem), per most transplant criteria, or the heart's stopping, per classical sources? Practically, observant Jews specify their standard on donor documents. The debate confirms the rule: saving life governs both sides of the argument.
