| Summary: | The development of modern biotechnology in food occurs rapidly simultaneously with
the development of other technologies. As a result, a wide range of modern foods using
biotechnology engineering technique has been produced. It is also recognisable, modern
food that produced through this technique has its advantages and disadvantages.
However, there are some products that are produced by mixing the halal (clean) and
haram (unclean) things. Therefore, it raises doubt on Muslims whether it is permissible
in Islam or not. Thus, a descriptive, comparative, and content analysis of the fiqh
(maqasid sharia) and science (biotechnology) sources have been carried out so that the
product meets the syarak (law). Through the study, any food products produced through
modern biotechnology, such as genetically modified foods must meet the criteria set by
the texts (al-Quran and Sunnah) and also in accordance with the maqasid sharia. The
products must be taken from halalan tayyiban (allowed and clean) sources. In addition,
it must be beneficial to human health, life, finance, and so on without neglecting the
halalan tayyiban principle. Besides, it must be harmless to human because anything that
bring harm to humans is forbidden in Islam. |
