Abstract
Organ donation from Islamic perspective is an issue of huge controversy. Muslim jurists have given two divided opinions between approval and rejection. The matter of concern is both side have generally used their juristic principles and tools to deliver their judgements on the issue where Quranic principles are largely avoided. As far as organ donation is concerned, the Quranic principles of donation, charity, mutual cooperation, protection life, benefaction, ownership of life, rights of patient to be cured, medical ethics, social responsibility to a patient, concept of wasiyyah etc. could be associated to the juristic tools for any judgement to be justified. This study investigates into the verses Quranic verses cited by the scholars in their writings in organ donation and transplantation. It will deduct the theoretical underpinnings behind the use of those verses. It will suggest adding on new dimension from Quranic verses to the topic. With this new addendum, a new perspective on the subject is expected to be emerged.
