Abstract
The emergence of organ transplantation as a medical revolution has sparked profound reflection, imbued with moral and religious considerations regarding its compatibility with various spiritual traditions. This medical advancement has engendered significant debate among the ulema, the eminent Islamic jurists, both within each Muslim country and among inter-Islamic institutions. Driven by the duty to interpret Islamic teachings in light of this new medical reality, they have undertaken a rigorous analysis of the religion's doctrinal sources. And after scrutinizing the doctrinal sources of Islam, these ulema - or at least most of them - have converged on a unanimous conclusion: organ donation and transplantation, whether involving corpses or living individuals, are not only justifiable but also in perfect accordance with the fundamental principles of Islam. This conclusion underscores the adaptability of Islamic jurisprudence to medical advancements, thereby demonstrating the religion's capacity to evolve while preserving its core values.
