Organ donation is one of the most remarkable and dramatic therapeutic advances in medicine during the past 60 years. Expansion of Organ donation has been compelled many countries to legislate about this subject. In our country, Iran, because our acts are based on Islamic jurisprudence it is necessary to study about organ donation in view of jurisprudence. For example the 32th verses of Maedeh Sura in Quran, shows the importance of saving at risk human lives.

In this article, we evaluate legal strategies that support organ donation, jurisprudence for organ donation, organ donation after execution and donor consent.
