Is orgen donation allowed in Islam?

[جوري]

This article is so upsetting...May Allah(SWT) help our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

As for the current subject, I wondered about this too...so far, very interesting replies, I still have not formed an opinion on it though.

:wa:

I have consulted with a sheikh a couple of days ago, and he said, that is there is no danger to your own health and you are donating to someone you know then it is ok, but that it isn't good to desecrate the body after death by dismembering parts of it.

to give to a Non-Muslim would be like giving your zakat money to a non-Muslim!

and Allah swt knows best

So then no muslim would want to be the recipient of a post death organ donation especially if it came from a non-muslim, correct?

Incorrect.

A grand scholar, Dr Yusuf Qardhawi has issued fatwa, Muslims are allowed to receive organs from non-Muslims.

I'm afraid I find this favouritism towards Muslims in Islam so upsetting!

It's so far removed from Jesus' teachings to care for our neighbour and love our enemies! imsad

I know people try to emphasize that Muslims are supposed to act positively towards non-Muslims ... but when I read threads such as this I am unconvinced.
Are non-Muslims really only ever second class citizens according to the teachings of Islam? (Sometimes it seems like that to me ...)

(Before people launch into a 'But-look-what-nonMuslims-do-to-Muslims' type debate, that's not what I am interested in at all.
I am concerned that Islam seems to teach quite clearly to put the well-being of Muslims before non-Muslims. Anyway, I am just feeling quite emotional about this, and yes, I am sounding off a little ...
Anyway, all of this is probably off topic ...:embarrass)

Not true if non-Muslims are second class citizens according to the teaching of Islam.

But sister, you must make a new thread if you want to discuss about it.

Are you signed up to donate your organs and those of your children to be all 'Jesus like'?

Assalam aleykoum brothers and sisters and brothers and sisters in humanity,



Can somebody bring proof from Hadiths or in the Quran where it says the Organ donation its forbideen.




Peace be upon all of you.

 

[glo]

Then perhaps I and those non-muslims like me should make the stipulation that no muslim should receive our organs, wouldn't want to upset anybody.

Can you actually legally stipulate who you want your organs to go to??

For example, could you say that you only want it to go to a woman or a white person or a French person or a non-smoker,???
Would it not simply go to the person with the highest need or best compatibility?

Assalam aleykoum sister,


You say the Sheiks told you, you can give your organ is there is not danger for your Health, I think its obvious.

The donater are not going to die by saving one life, the best is both can live.

Do you think when you have an operation at hospital, do you think there is risk to die or not ?


Allah SWT says to Jews in the Quran if you save a life its like you save all Humanity no ?


Surah 5


32. On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.



Can you tell me what is the intention of the Donor :

1) to save a life ?

2) or to die ?


Surah 31


34. Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah (alone). It is He Who sends down rain, and He Who knows what is in the wombs. Nor does any one know what it is that he will earn on the morrow: Nor does any one know in what land he is to die. Verily with Allah is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all things).


On the Time of our Prophete Mohamed SWS, it was impossible and inimaginable for Kidney transplant

Allah SWT knows that in the Future such opeartions can be possible, but in one condition the compatibility of the recipient


For example a child has to day if doen't receive any Kidney, one day the Hospital call the Familly and give them a good news that child will be save.

The question is Allah SWT does't know that ?


Surah 31


V34......Nor does any one know in what land he is to die[/B........


Surah 39


42. It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed verily in this are Signs for those who reflect



If you have to die, you will die, if you have to live you will live.


Allah SWT knows that Human willl have that possibility and that science .


Its my point of view, to forbideen to save a life can not come from Allah SWT, no ?


Assalam aleykoum sisters and brothers, peace be upon you sisters and brothers in Humanity.

Would you like the address to write to?

To be honest, I find the very idea of with-holding a life-saving treatment from another human being in need, purely based on their religion, quite abhorrent!
If that's truly what Islam teaches, than I find that very sad and worrying indeed, imsad and that alone would turn me away from Islam for ever ...

But two wrongs don't make a right, and however wrong I find it that somebody might deny me a life-saving organ on account of my faith, I could not return the same on somebody outside my religion.

I am just surprised that it is even possible to make such stipulations.
It sounds highly unethical, uncharitable and unkind to me.

I would be interested to find out more about this, so if you could PM me further information, that would be good.
Is there a form to fill in?
Can you deny somebody your organs on other counts (such as race, age, gender etc) too? What a strange world we live in!!

 

[glo]

The UK organ donation site says this:

24
Are there religious objections to organ and tissue donation?

No, none of the major religions in the UK object to organ and tissue donation and transplantation. If you have any doubts, you should discuss them with your spiritual or religious adviser.

28
Can I agree to donate to some people and not to others?

No. Organs and tissue cannot be accepted unless they are freely donated. No absolute conditions can be attached in terms of potential recipients. The only restriction allowed is which organs or tissue are to be donated.

 

[ardianto]

to give to a Non-Muslim would be like giving your zakat money to a non-Muslim!

Muslims are not allowed to give their zakat to non-Muslims, but Muslims are allowed to give their shadaqa to non-Muslims.

Zakat is obligatory, and under the rule, how much and when 'Muzaki' (Muslim who can afford to pay zakat) must pay it. But shadaqa is really sincerely, and there is no rules, how much, when, and who are the recipients.

There is no obligation for Muslims to donate their organs, but Muslims are allowed to donate their organs sincerely. This is means we cannot use rule of zakat in organs donation but we must use rule of shadaqa in organs donation.

So, are Muslims allowed to donate their organs to non-Muslims ?.

I'll go with the opinion of the sheikh I trust as it makes the most sense.
It is best if someone in your family needs an organ that you see if you are a match to them.
When you give your body up to whomever, you run a risk of donating an organ to someone like santoku. I really think that would be a waste..
nonetheless the zionists and fundies are already doing a good job stealing our organs without permission, and may Allah swt punish them here and the hereafter for it.

I am allowed my opinion which is based on sound religious advise, and anyone is free to take it or leave it but I hope they take heed of to whom a precious gift might be parted. And question sincerely the hypocrites on board before she goes off quoting left and right if she and her children are set up to have their organs donated upon their death.. the chances of your organ going to someone unworthy is very likely, just given the percentage of Muslims vs. none, in their countries. I really think with all the crap they reign upon us that it would be almost criminal to part with an organ to one of them..

and Allah swt knows best

 

[Uthman]

What is the ruling on donating organs?

 

[جوري]

BTW, I hear that Usama is in desperate need of a kidney:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osama_bin_Laden

A videotape was released on December 27 showing a gaunt, unwell Bin Laden, prompting an unnamed White House aide to comment that it could have been made shortly before his death.[117] On CNN, Dr Sanjay Gupta commented that Bin Laden's left arm never moved during the video, suggesting a recent stroke and possibly a symptom of kidney failure.[120] According to Pakistani President Musharraf, Bin Laden required two dialysis machines, which also suggests kidney failure.[121] "I think now, frankly, he is dead for the reason he is a... kidney patient," Musharraf said.[121] If Bin Laden suffered kidney failure, he would require a sterile environment, electricity, and continuous attention by a team of specialists, Gupta said.[120] In April 2002, U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld stated, "We have heard neither hide nor hair of him since, oh, about December in terms of anything hard....We are pretty sure he is either alive or dead."[122] FBI Counterterrorism chief Dale Watson and President Karzai of Afghanistan also expressed the opinion that Bin Laden probably died at this time.[123][124]

Perhaps one of the Jesus worshipers can see if she or her kids are a match and do the 'godly' thing, after all it would be a life saving procedure and to pick and choose based on religion would be quite abhorrent!

Assalam aleykoum sisters and brothers,


I have only one question, not two or three.

Can you tell me if Allah SWT can forbid somebody to save a life ?



Assalam aleykoum sisters and brothers.

 

[جوري]

You are not forbidden to save a life.. question is a clear one of logic.
can you give charity to someone in Ireland when the folks in your backyard are searching through the garbage for food?
Would you donate an organ for instance to these children:

According to the Defence of Children International (DCI),[12] of the "595 children killed [29 September 2000 to 30 June 2004], 383, or 64.4%, died as a result of Israeli air and ground attacks, during assassination attempts, or when Israeli soldiers opened fire randomly" and "212 children, or 35.6%, died as a result of injuries sustained during clashes with Israeli military forces".[13]
It is estimated that two-thirds of all injuries are to Palestinian minors. The DCI estimates that from the 1 January 2001 until 1 May 2003, at least 4,816 Palestinian children were injured, with the majority of injuries happening as a result of Israeli army activity, and a small fraction of those injuries being at the hands of Israeli settlers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the majority of these children were killed and injured while going about their normal daily activities, such as going to school, playing, shopping, or simply when in their homes.[14][15]


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_and_minors_in_the_Israeli–Palestinian_conflict

many of whom are denied basic healthcare (let alone organs) for 'security reasons'

and instead stand idle while their carcasses are raided for organs which are given the very people who have killed them?

You be the best judge of that, but I think the choice is perfectly clear.

Assalam aleykoum sister,


I do not want to talk about the State of our community, when I am thinking about it I cry and I am scared.


Surah 13


11. For each (such person) there are (angels) in succession, before and behind him: They guard him by command of Allah. Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change it themselves (with their own souls). But when (once) Allah willeth a people's punishment, there can be no turning it back, nor will they find, besides Him, any to protect.



How the community of our Prophete Mohamed SWS is in this situation ???

I have one Hadith in mind, I think it was said by our prophete Mohamed SWS :

- Talking about his community, we will be numerous but weak than ever.

Do you know why ? we are very far away of the revelation.

I do not want to talk about Muslim and Arabic country and International community ( NO COMENT ) there all gulty.


For helping Palestinians or Haiti today I do as much I can, in my every day life I help people no matter of religion or colour, we are all creatures of Allah SWT.


Assalam aleykoum sister, I ask Allah SWT to guide us because we live in darkness.
