Organ transplant

We read on the news about the first patient in France to undergo a face transplant, where facial tissue from a donor who was brain-dead was used to repair severe damage from the top of the woman's nose to her chin. The woman had been bitten on her face by a dog. The doctors who carried out the operation said, "We decided to go ahead with the transplant operation of the face because it does not only restore the anatomy and the aesthetics, but also the function of this face." The team painstakingly transplanted skin, muscle tissue, connecting lots of blood vessels and nerve cells.The above case raises many ethical and Islamic concerns that require an urgent response by Muslim scholars and jurists. Is carrying out such an operation permissible? Also, is it permissible to use the face of a person who is declared brain-dead for such a purpose? Are we allowed to go for a face transplant operation for both major and minor deformities?

As-Salamu `Alaykum. What does Islam say about organ donation during life or after death. Is this allowed in Islam?

As-Salamu `alaykum. Is it permissible for a Muslim to donate an organ to a non-Muslim in order to rescue his life?

Dear scholars, As-salamu `alaykum. I have a question regarding organ donation. I saw in your fatwa bank that it is allowed and even seen as on-going charity, alhamdolillah! However I was wondering whether there is a limitation as to what can be donated. I signed the donor card yesterday, and I had the possibility to exclude certain organs but I haven't done that since I didn't know what should be excluded, if there is anything that should be excluded. Can you elaborate on this topic, please? Jazakum Allah khayran
