Of Muftis and Morals
Islamic bioethics is a recent, albeit growing, academic discipline. Despite commendable contributions, the field remains critically limited. Most notably, its methodology of strict application of Islamic law to ethical analyses and recommendations often lacks sufficient moral analysis, intellectual engagement, or social context. The practice's emphasis on religio‐legal rulings‐ without an investigation of their underpinning moral values‐ has resu…
Factors associated with Saudi physicians’ utilization of clinical ethics consultation services
Clinical Ethics Consultation (CEC) aims to resolve ethical dilemmas at the bedside. Through a structured process, CEC allows practitioners and patients to consult ethicists at times of moral conflict or uncertainty. Over the past few decades, CEC has become an invaluable part of healthcare practice. In Saudi Arabia, however, CEC services remain inexplicably underutilized. This study attempts to understand the factors associated with Saudi physici…
Motherhood, Fairness, and Flourishing
In a landmark Fatwa , Saudi Arabia’s highest religious authority—The Council of Senior Scholars—declared the Islamic permissibility of oocyte cryopreservation. The fatwa sanctioned the retrieval, preservation, and future use of oocytes, ovarian tissue, and whole ovaries from cancer patients receiving gonadotoxic interventions. Although momentous, the fatwa’s specification of cancer patients effectively rendered this technology unavailable to othe…

Given the wide-reaching and detrimental impact of COVID-19, its strain on healthcare resources, and the urgent need for—sometimes forced—public health interventions, thorough examination of the ethical issues brought to light by the pandemic is especially warranted. This paper aims to identify some of the complex moral dilemmas faced by senior physicians at a major medical centre in Saudi Arabia, in an effort to gain a better understanding of how…
Healing Body and Soul
Beyond Sacredness
At the core of Saudi Arabian bioethics' moral foundation is a strict reliance on religious scripture. This methodology is far from perfect; religious interpretations often lack sufficient moral analysis and intellectual engagement. Women are the most affected by this limited religious understanding, which is often influenced by entrenched patriarchal norms. In this paper, I argue that Saudi bioethics must shift from its current unreflective pract…
Reexamining the Prohibition of Gestational Surrogacy in Sunni Islam
Advances in reproductive medicine have provided new, and much needed, hope for millions of people struggling with infertility. Gestational surrogacy is one such development that has been gaining popularity with infertile couples, especially those unable to benefit from other reproductive procedures such as In Vitro Fertilization. For many Muslim couples, however, surrogacy remains a nonviable option. Islamic scholars have deemed the procedure inc…
