Summary
This Bayan Linnas mentions two views on organ transplantation, and the available text sets out the first view, which permits it. Transplanting organs from a deceased person to a living person in need is permitted under four conditions. These are consent given before death (by a sane adult without coercion, or permission from the guardian), a reasonable certainty that the transplant will generally succeed, a purpose solely for medical treatment, and no element of sale or purchase.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
