What is the Islamic view on donating organs after death?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
assalamalaikum,I want to donate my eyes after i die.But i heard islam prohibhits donating organs after death is it true if yes “why”?

Answer

(Fatwa: 1218/1218=M/1430)

What you have heard is right, the reason is that a man is not owner of his body to have freewill to act whatever he likes. A man can make a donation or write a will for things which he possesses, but he is not the owner of his body parts, so donating eyes etc after death is unlawful and invalid.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best

Darul Ifta,
Darul Uloom Deoband
