| Summary: | Bringing benefits and repelling harm is one of the
main objectives embedded in the divine law of
Shariah. The law of Shariah came in its entirety for
the preservation of fundamental principles of Allah
on the creation such as the five maqāsid al-shari‘ah
principles. Since the dawn of the scientific revolution,
genetic engineering has triggered several debates at
different levels among the stakeholders. Clearly, there
are opinions between the process of transformation
and mere transmutation of the substance, some of
which are subject to consensus and some differs.
This study aims to analyze the juristic implication
of the permissibility of using gelatin extracted
from pig parts in the pharmaceutical industry. The
study adopted the inductive approach to collect the
information recorded in contemporary literature
in this regard and then followed by a comparative
analytical study to highlight the agreed and
disagreed facts between Shariah sources and other
sciences. The most important note is that in the event
of a choice, consuming foods and drinks containing
pork gelatin is not permissible. By the same analogy,
the capsulated medicines cannot be taken, and this
study is purely for the case when it is necessary and
there is no alternative. |
