What is the ruling on not carrying out a mother's will to donate her kidneys to the hospital after her death?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Organ transplantation from living donors is permissible if the donor is not harmed and the recipient is in dire need of the organ. Transplantation from deceased donors is permissible due to the numerous benefits that result from it. The mother's will to donate her organs must be carried out because it is a lawful will. If the will cannot be executed due to circumstances beyond control, there is no sin. However, if it is due to negligence, the children must repent. There is no need to compensate the hospital because organs are not exchanged for monetary compensation.
