Are Muslims allowed to donate their organs after death according to their religion?
Assalamu-alaikum. I was watching a BBC programme that highlighted the lack of black and asian people that carry donor cards. A representative from the NHS commented that many asian and black people do not offer to donate their organs after death as it is against their religion. The person insisted that as far as the NHS were aware there are no religions which stop a believer from donating organs or body parts to save another human life. I have always thought that donating your body parts after death is haram but I have seen no evidence of it. Can you please clarify whether or not Muslims are allowed to do this?
