Q4: What is the Islamic ruling on an organ transplant from another human being into a human being? Is this permissible? Is it obligatory if it would save the life of a Muslim? Can a Muslim “agree” to not have this operation and thus either go through a period of chance that he may live or die?
A4: If there is no non-Muslim to donate his ogran and an ogran transplant is required for saving the life a Muslim, there would be no problem in doing so.
Q5: Can a Muslim write in his will that he will donate his organs to be used in a transplant if it is confirmed to go to another Muslim?? Can the guardians of the deceased decide this after his death if he did not will it?
