Abstract

Muslims in the UK face discord due to the clash of opinions on the ‘opt-out’ system to be introduced in April 2020. In this article, I share my opinion on how a careful re-examination of the fatawa that contribute to the prohibition of organ donation may provide a fresh perspective on how to advise on the new opt-out system.
