Organ Donation for Non-Muslims
What is the ruling on donating body organs knowing that they may go to a polytheist, and what is the evidence for permissibility or impermissibility? It is known that they cite the verse: {And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely} [Al-Ma'idah: 32]?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible for the deceased to donate some of their organs during their life and after their death; due to the benefit it brings to Muslims, and it is permissible for others if this matter is common in society, and each one helps the other, but a Muslim is more deserving of kindness, and God knows best.
