Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that donating and transplanting organs and tissues such as the liver, lungs, kidneys, heart valves, skin or bone is prohibited when there is no necessity and permissible in a state of necessity. For living donors, conditions include examination by at least two specialist doctors, the donor's free and written consent which may be withdrawn at any time, the procedure being usually successful, and the organ being one of which the body has more than one, such as a kidney. For deceased donors, consent may come through a will, the heirs, or the authorities if there are no heirs, and the body must be treated with due respect. In both cases, organs must not be traded or sold.
