Cloning of Humans, Animal and Plants

All praise is for Allah and blessings be on Nabi Muhammad and his noble family.

Cloning is an evolving faculty, and extensive work is underway to clone different species,

In light of all the details and methodology of cloning, and the possibilities of its social and ethical

evils as a result, Human Cloning is Haram( Forbidden) in any case, whatsoever.


Cloning of Animals, Plants and all other non-human species, which could be beneficial for

humans,and that do not endanger human ethics,morals,body  and his religion, are allowed in Islam.


I appeal the authorities in muslim countries to make laws, so that our countries are not used as experimental grounds for any sort of research or trials on human cloning.

And Allah knows best.


The Fatwa has been taken from Islamic Fiqh Academy India

Principle 2 - Islamic Medical Ethics believes Illness and Health is in God's Hand

The Holy Quran says:

"Who created me, and it is He Who guides me;

"Who gives me food and drink,

"And when I am ill, it is He Who cures me;

"Who will cause me to die, and then to life (again);

"And who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the day of 
Judgment  
   
(26:78-82)

Islam believes that God not only created this world but also He is sustaining the world.He is not only controlling major events but also minute events in the universe.Life ,death , illness and cure is all in His hands.

This dogma never means that we don’t go for treatment which is proved by the life of Messenger of Allah ,but I believe psychologist would understand the implication of believing in a super natural power.This belief boost a patients self confidence and fastens patients recovery. Moreover  a sense of not being alone saves the patient from depression which is the worst outcome of almost every chronic or severe illness.There are certainly many other benefits which are impossible to mention here.

Principle One - Islamic Medical Ethics believe in across the board service to Humanity

Quran says:

On that account We ordained for the Children of Isra`il that if any one killed a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed  the whole humanity: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the whole humanity. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear (guidance), yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land. (5:32)

PRINCIPLE 1            SAVE A LIFE - SAVE HUMANITY   

Islam believes in serving humanity and saving lives based on humane values.No difference of cast, colour ,religion or ethnic background is taken into consideration.The only factor behind serving people is that they are all creation of One God and progeny of single parents, Adam and Eve.
