Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh)
  • Islamic Law (Shari'ah)

Background:

  • Western bioethics is polarized between secular liberalism and conservative Christianity, marginalizing non-Western perspectives.
  • Secular liberalism's focus on individual autonomy conflicts with communitarian ethics in many Global South societies.
  • Conservative Christian bioethical stances face challenges due to perceived inflexibility, necessitating broader frameworks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the contributions of Islamic bioethics, specifically fiqh and Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah, to global bioethical discourse.
  • To examine the interplay of Universalism and Realism in Islamic thought concerning bioethical issues.
  • To contrast Islamic ethical frameworks with individualistic Western bioethical models.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of Islamic legal principles, including fiqh and Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah.
  • Examination of the concept of human life and its protection within Islamic law, focusing on ḥifẓ al-nafs.
  • Exploration of maṣlaḥah (public interest) and Islamic legal maxims in achieving ethical objectives.

Main Results:

  • Islamic bioethics prioritizes the Preservation of Life (ḥifẓ al-nafs) as a core objective.
  • The principle of maṣlaḥah (public interest) plays a crucial role in Islamic ethical decision-making.
  • Islamic ethics highlights the centrality of family and community, contrasting with Western individualism.

Conclusions:

  • Fiqh and Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah offer valuable insights for a more inclusive and pragmatic global bioethics.
  • Islamic bioethics provides a communitarian and family-centered ethical model.
  • Integrating diverse cultural and religious perspectives, like Islamic ethics, is essential for advancing global bioethics.
