Organ Donation After Death: Permissible or Not?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is it permissible to donate any of the body organs after death for the needy ones?

Bismillaah

A: Our bodies are an amaanat from the side of Allah Ta’aala. We are not permitted to deal in them freely as we wish. Instead, we are commanded to deal in them as Allah Ta’ala has commanded us. Shariat does not allow organ transplants. Hence, it is impermissible for one to donate his organs. However, it is permissible to use the organs of animals provided it is not the organs of a swine.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
