Is it permissible for someone who knows they are dying to donate their eyes to a relative?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Aslam-ul-alikum My question is if anyone knows he dying and want to donate eyes to his relative is it permissible. Looking forward to hear from you Wasa-alam

Answer

(Fatwa: 443/370/B=1431)

Almighty Allah has created man respectable. He has gifted us eyes, ears etc as trust, we are not its owners. Almighty Allah is the owner of our all body parts. That is why it is not lawful for a man to destroy one’s life i.e. to suicide, or waste any part. When we are not the owner of our body parts how can we donate it to others. After all, it is not lawful to do so according to Islam.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
