| Résumé: | Islamic law has preserved detailed accounts of religious aspects of death and dying. Shari'a has retained a continuity in its guidance regarding the religious and ritual aspects of death. Contemporary Muslim jurists have emphasized rulings that determine the moment of death and the permission to harvest organs. Even when the scriptural sources have provided detailed instructions about the funeral rites and mourning practices, as a rule, ethical analysis of the situation is dominated by extraction of a ruling. This paper highlights the religious and cultural issues that dominate the ethics of the end of life in Muslim traditions. |
