    ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION AND DONATION IN ISLAM

    TASMIAH HOSSAIN

    ORGAN DONATION: AN INSIGHT


    Organ donation is the gift of an organ to help someone else who needs a transplant. Hundreds of people's lives are saved or improved each year by organ transplants. Donation is an individual choice and views differ even within the same religious groups. With medical advances it is now possible to use transplanted organs and tissues to enhance the life chances of those suffering from a range of terminal conditions such as renal, liver and heart failure. More people than before now suffer from these conditions and some ethnic groups seem to be more affected than others.

    WHAT IS THE RULING ON ORGAN TRANSPLANT IN ISLAM?


    Organ transplants are performed to replace non-functional or diseased organs in order to cure patients. This medical procedure, like many other medical prodecures, are permissible in Islam, because it is a form of treatment for a medical condition.

    There is no doubt that organ transplant is in the same category as saving a life. However, the transplant cannot bring harm to the donor. This is based on an Islamic legal maxim that states a harm cannot be removed in a way that leads to another type of harm. This maxim explains that a harm cannot be removed by creating another similar or worse condition, whether on the same individual, or on any other persons.

    In general, organ donation is allowed in Islam. It is an invaluable gift to those in pain and suffering from organ failure. Such a donation will not only help the patient but will also save his/her life. Islamic scholars made permissible organ donations from a deceased person to a living one, if the deceased has consented to it while he was still alive, or if his next-of-kin has consented it.
