Background Although the International Society for Islamic Legal Studies and the Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences have officially approved of transplantations, Muslims’ opinions on this issue are not uniform. The aim of this study was to assess the general knowledge, attitudes, and opinions concerning organ transplantation among Muslim Tatars living in North-East Poland. Material/Methods The study included 78 Muslim Tatars and was carried out at the Center of Muslim Culture using the diagnostic poll method. Results Transplantation from living donors was accepted by 96.1% of respondents, and from dead donors by 88.8% of respondents. Consent to the removal of organs after the death of a close relative was approved of by 57.7%, and 1/5 of respondents objected to it. Removal of their organs after death was approved of by 70.5% of respondents, more often by persons with higher education and vocational education than among those with only elementary education. Only 2.2% of respondents had reported their objection to the Central Objection Register. Almost 40% of men and women informed their family members about their willingness to be an organ donor. Most (71.8%) respondents had a positive attitude to transplantation, 25.6% had a negative attitude, and 2.6% were neutral. Approximately 72% of respondents believed that the final decision concerning the removal of organs from dead donors should be made by the family, and according to 8.9%, it should be prescribed by the law. Conclusions Muslim Tatars living in Poland mostly accept the removal of organs both from live donors and from dead bodies. Gender and education level had a considerable impact on the decision concerning organ donation.
