Can a Muslim donate organs?
What about blood or tissues?
What does it say in Islam?

Good Questions.
Most mainstream religions either support organ donation as an “act of charity” or leave each individual to decide for himself or herself.  While some lay members have worried about desecrating the body before burial, these concerns are alleviated when they learn that donation allows for open casket funerals and will not delay funeral arrangements. Also, there are no costs to donor families for donation.

One donor can save up to nine lives through organ donation and enhance the lives of 50 people through tissue donation. These are saintly statistics when one considers that 20 people die each day waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, amounting to 8,000 unnecessary deaths each year.

Simple answer: Donation of organs/tissue etc. - Fulfills the priority of saving human life.

ISLAM - The religion of Islam strongly believes in the principle of saving human lives. According to A. Sachedina in Transplanting Proceedings, “The majority of the Muslim scholars, belonging to various schools of Islamic law, have invoked the principle of priority of saving human life and have permitted the organ transplant as a necessity to procure that noble end.”
