Islam, with its inherent comprehensiveness, inclusivity, and universality, provides comprehensive and enduring guidance in every aspect of human life, from worship and ethics to politics, economics, and medical matters. Among these complex contemporary issues, an important jurisprudential topic is organ donation, transplantation, and grafting — a practice that has become increasingly common due to scientific and technological advancements, yet it involves profound religious, ethical, and legal considerations.
Islamic Scholars hold diverse opinions on this matter: some jurists permit it within the framework of ethical principles and medical standards, taking into account contemporary necessities and prevailing customs; while others, based on explicit scriptural texts and potential harmful consequences, consider it impermissible. We conducted research on this topic and, in light of contemporary scholarly discussions, endeavored to understand the ethical, religious, legal, and scientific aspects of organ transplantation, aiming to establish a balanced framework between medical ethics and scientific progress. This study provides a fair and realistic assessment of its Shariah ruling and the challenges faced in its practical implementation.
