Is organ donation halal or haram?

well it depends really

Depends on what?

I've heard it's haram but I don't know if it's true or not.

I'm kind of in favor of organ donation though. It's such a huge step in Science, it has saved so many lives (my cousin got a liver transplant last year), so how could religion (Islam) be against it? I guess it's a never-ending debate...

Salam,

I heard from a person that's "haram".
I agree with Neurotica, it's a great thing.
If our death can help someone else why not. It's like we did not completly die.
My friend's sister die in a car accident, their parents gave thier agreement to give some of her organs.
My friend told me that for her, her sister is living though 4 persons.
I am thinking to register on the list of organs donor.

Why is it haram? I think organ transplantation is one of the greatest achievements in medical sphere. I think ethical stigma is attached to it more than religious one.

it is the ultimate noble human gesture and i think everyone of us need to have an organ donor card and register who knows one day may be our children will need this sort of life saving operation
