What is allowed in the Islamic perspective, transplantation and organ donation only if they follow the goals of Islamic sharia? The human body has the honor and dignity that must be preserved in every movement of life. In the case of organ transplants, if it leads to the destruct-tion of a human being and the violation of his honor or paves the way for the abduction, which offers immorality, and in these circumstances, it should not be done. Organ donation and transplantation will be beneficial, under the supervision of a qualified transplant team.
