What is the Islamic view on organ donation and transplantation?

In Islam, saving a life is considered one of the greatest good deeds. Organ donation and transplantation are permissible in Islam as long as it is done for a valid medical reason and not for financial gain. There is no explicit mention of organ donation in the Quran, but many Islamic scholars have issued fatwas stating that organ donation is permissible.

Islamic views on organ donation and transplantation vary by school of thought and region. Some Muslim-majority countries have laws and regulations that govern organ donation and transplantation, while others do not. Generally, Muslim scholars encourage organ donation as a means of saving lives, but they emphasize the importance of informed consent, and they advise Muslims to discuss the matter with their families and religious leaders.
