modern medicine; however, the practice sparks debate within Islamic legal&#13;
perspectives regarding ethics, Sharia boundaries, and the protection of&#13;
human rights. The American Muslim Jurists Association (AMJA) and the&#13;
International Islamic Fiqh Academy (IIFA)—two prominent fatwa-issuing&#13;
bodies—hold views that frequently serve as references for addressing these&#13;
contemporary issues. This study is motivated by the need for a&#13;
comprehensive understanding of how these two institutions determine the&#13;
legal status of organ transplantation, particularly amidst advancements in&#13;
medical technology and the growing demand for organ donors within&#13;
Muslim communities. Consequently, this research addresses two primary&#13;
questions: first, why do differences in opinion exist between AMJA and IIFA&#13;
regarding the law on organ transplantation and second, what are the results&#13;
of a comparative analysis of their views using the theory of comparative law&#13;
This study employs a qualitative method based on library research&#13;
with a normative approach. Primary data were obtained from the official&#13;
fatwas of AMJA and IIFA, while secondary data were derived from relevant&#13;
books, journals, and scholarly works. Data analysis utilizes the comparative&#13;
law theory proposed by Ratno Lutiko, applying epistemological,&#13;
methodological, and substantive comparative methods. Through this&#13;
comparative law framework, the author identifies the reasons behind the&#13;
divergent views held by AMJA and IIFA regarding organ transplantation&#13;
laws and presents a comparative analysis of their respective positions on the&#13;
matter.&#13;
Research findings indicate that both AMJA and IIFA permit organ&#13;
transplantation, subject to strict conditions. AMJA tends to adopt a more&#13;
flexible stance by considering the social context and medical needs of the&#13;
Muslim community in America, emphasizing voluntary consent, the&#13;
prohibition of organ commercialization, and the objective of saving lives. As&#13;
an international body, IIFA is more cautious, emphasizing the universal&#13;
aspects of Sharia, the protection of human dignity, and the necessity of&#13;
adhering to standardized medical and ethical procedures. Both agree that&#13;
organ transplantation must not involve actions that damage the body without&#13;
a valid Sharia justification and must align with the principles of maqasid alshari'ah&#13;
(objectives of Sharia), particularly the preservation of life hifz alnafs.&#13;
The differences in the fatwas issued by AMJA (Assembly of Muslim&#13;
Jurists of America) and IIFA (International Islamic Fiqh Academy) lie in&#13;
their nature, level of detail, and legal approaches. AMJA tends to be more&#13;
practical, flexible, and responsive to the context of Muslim minority&#13;
communities in the West—for instance, by permitting hair transplants and&#13;
applying more lenient requirements for organ transplantation from deceased&#13;
donors. Conversely, IIFA establishes rules that are more cautious, detailed,&#13;
and globally comprehensive, reflecting the collective ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) of international scholars; this includes imposing strict&#13;
conditions for transplants from deceased donors, prohibiting transplants&#13;
involving organs removed via hadd or qisas punishments, and explicitly&#13;
banning the harvesting of brain cells from living fetuses.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">340.2 Hukum Perbandingan</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2026-08-21</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS SYARI’AH DAN HUKUM</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Thesis</mods:genre></mods:mods>
