Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) in Terms of Islamic Law
Abstract
Problems such as rapidly growth of the word’s population and food shortages in the world encourage the countries of the world to take measures on food security. It is now possible to obtain genetically modified products through the use of modern biotechnological methods. Genetically modified organisms that obtained through this technology are presented as one of the solutions to the food safety problem. Nevertheless, the production and consumption of genetically modified products has been the subject of discussions from moral, medical and religios aspects since they were introduced to the world’s market. There is no doubt that genetically modified products have also attracted the attention of Islamic jurists in terms of halal and haram aspects. In this article will be discussed genetically modified products and their consumption from the perspective of Islamic religion.
