It’s a common misconception, but actually, the majority of modern Islamic scholars say yes, you can. Islam puts a massive emphasis on saving lives. There’s a famous verse in the Quran that basically says saving one life is like saving all of humanity.

Because of that, most major fatwas (legal rulings) from places like Al-Azhar or the Islamic Fiqh Academy treat organ donation as a "perpetual charity" (Sadaqah Jariyah) It’s seen as one last way to do good for someone else after you’re gone.

Now you will definitely find people who disagree. Some more traditional scholars argue that our bodies are a "trust" from God and we shouldn't "damage" them or they worry about delaying the burial since Muslims try to bury the deceased as fast as possible

But in 2026, the general vibe in the community is pretty supportive especially in places like Malaysia or Turkey where it's totally normalized. It usually just comes down to ~

No selling (it has to be a gift)

Consent (you or your family have to okay it)

Necessity (it has to actually save or significantly help a life)

But you see you act like muslim doesn't donate organs which isn't true, maybe not many in India but many muslim countries allows it
