“…Organ transplantation stands as one of the most remarkable achievements in modern medicine, revolutionizing the treatment of end-stage organ failure and offering hope to millions worldwide (Tanveer et al, 2023;Terry Sharrer, 2022;Wade, 2023). The procedure involves the surgical removal of a healthy organ or tissue from a donor and its transplantation into a recipient whose own organ has failed or is at risk of failing (Garwood-Gowers, 2019;Lepoittevin et al, 2022). Organs commonly transplanted include the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, and intestines, while tissues such as corneas, skin, bones, and heart valves can also be transplanted (Deshmukh & Baheti, 2020).…”

This research to explores the ethical perspectives on organ transplantation within Islamic jurisprudence, aiming to inform culturally sensitive and ethically sound healthcare practices. The review synthesizes findings from a range of scholarly sources to examine the diverse viewpoints among Islamic scholars regarding the permissibility and ethical implications of organ transplantation. Key themes include debates on issues such as brain death, organ trafficking, and the definition of death in Islamic law, as well as the influence of cultural, social, and geopolitical factors on Islamic perspectives. Insights gained highlight the importance of integrating Islamic ethics into medical education and healthcare delivery systems to promote culturally competent care. Recommendations for future research emphasize the need for comparative studies, ethnographic research, and interventions to enhance healthcare providers' cultural competence and religious literacy. By addressing these research directions, scholars can contribute to more inclusive and equitable healthcare practices that respect diverse religious and cultural beliefs while upholding ethical principles and promoting patient-centered care. Research Highlights: Diverse Perspectives: The systematic literature review reveals a spectrum of viewpoints among Islamic scholars regarding the permissibility and ethical implications of organ transplantation. Debates encompass issues such as brain death, organ trafficking, and the definition of death in Islamic law, reflecting the complexity of ethical considerations within the Islamic tradition. Cultural Influences: Cultural, social, and geopolitical factors significantly shape Islamic perspectives on organ transplantation, influencing attitudes and practices within Muslim communities worldwide. Understanding these influences is essential for promoting culturally sensitive healthcare practices and addressing the diverse needs of Muslim patients. Integration of Ethics: The review underscores the importance of integrating Islamic ethics into medical education and healthcare delivery systems to ensure culturally competent and ethically sound care. Recommendations include curriculum development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and community engagement to enhance healthcare providers' understanding of Islamic principles and values.

Living kidney donor transplantations are complex; add to that financial compensation to the donor and one enters an ethical maze. Debates on whether the buying and selling of kidneys should be allowed are mainly between utilitarians, deontologists and virtue ethicists as legal transplants are more common in the Western world. The pros and cons of each theory in relation to the sale of human organs are analysed, after which the foundational principles for all bio-ethical judgments; beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy and justice are also scrutinised in seeking to justify the sale of human kidneys for transplantation purposes in a country with a human rights culture.
