From Statutes to Survival
According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)’s Living Planet Report 2024, there is an average decline of 73% in wildlife species populations between 1970 and 2020. While conservation efforts aid in saving some wildlife species, urgent action is required if these losses are to be reversed. The impact of the decline in wildlife goes far beyond the potential cultural loss. In fact, countries losing wildlife species are set to suffer from ecological pr…
To Be or Not to Be
One of the main aims of the Sharīʿah (maqāṣid al-sharīʿah) is the protection of human life (hifz al-nafs). Advances in medical science have similar aims and have created technology to assist infertile couples to overcome their infertility. One of the technologies developed to further simplify this process is the ability to freeze excess embryos to be stored for long periods of time through cryopreservation. This technology allows infertile couple…
Nasab (Filiation) of Children in Assisted Reproductive Technology (Art) Under the Sharīʿah Discourse
Sharīʿah emphasises safeguarding nasab (filiation) because all other rights and responsibilities rely on the legitimacy of the children. Biotechnological human procreation creates several ethico-legal challenges, including the filiation of ART-resulting children and threats to the concept of family in Islam. To protect children’s rights, this paper conducts a textual study on Sharīʿah sources and their application by Muslim jurists to deal with i…

With the advancement of technology in today’s world, the focus of halal standards is …

Shariah-compliant medical tourism has grown into a specialised sector of the global medical tourism market that serves patients looking for medical care that complies with Islamic principles. For the sake of ensuring patient safety, ethical considerations, and the harmonisation of practises across borders, the role of international law in governing this special type of medical tourism is essential. The study first establishes a connection between…
Genetic Screening of Newborns in Malaysia
Genetic screening of newborns is not a cure in itself, but it is an important tool for physicians to diagnose a genetic disease or disorder. It also provides hope for parents of children with these rare diseases for treatment or at least some advice as to how to help the children grow in a more comfortable environment. This article argues that any jurisdiction wishing to introduce a specific genetic screening programme which makes it compulsory f…
