islam doesnt forbid organ donation if it is given voluntarily and in order to save a life. what it doesnt permit is selling organs for money. next time when making a comment, please do your homework first! i am in a medical facility and have a lot of muslim people coming through in relaton to organ donation, be it giving or receiving. It is the ignorant tabloid reading folk such as many i have seen ...who take on board whatever the latest media hypes and crazes are, or whatever is played out to them at their local temple, mosque or what have you at face value without questioning it for themselves. these are the kinds of minds people like Hitler played upon to cause some of the worst atrocities across the world. wake up and start thinking for yourself!
