Yes, the General Iftaa Department of Jordan and
international jurisprudence councils have issued fatwas
permitting organ donation, considering it a continuous
charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), provided that organs are not sold
and death is confirmed.
What is the difference between brain death and coma?
Brain death is the complete and irreversible cessation of
all brain functions, which is considered a medical and legal
death. A coma is a state from which a patient may recover,
and organ donation is not permitted in this state.
Is the donor's body disfigured after the operation?
No, the organ retrieval process is performed through a
precise surgical procedure that respects the dignity of the
body. The incision is closed cosmetically so that no
disfigurement appears, and the family can say their final
goodbyes normally.
