Fundamentalist and Purposive Rules Influencing Organ Transplantation Rulings: An Applied Study on the Resolutions of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy

Abstract

Abstract:

This research examines the influential fundamentalist and purposive rules in organ transplantation rulings through the resolutions of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy. The study's significance lies in providing an applied analysis demonstrating how fundamentalist and purposive rules address contemporary medical issues and derive their related Islamic rulings. The research employs analytical and deductive methodologies to analyze the resolutions and extract the fundamental and purposive rules that influence these rulings.

The research revealed a complementary relationship between fundamental and purposive rules in guiding organ transplantation rulings and establishing necessary controls and conditions to achieve human welfare and prevent harm. The study utilized approximately fifty fundamentalist and purposive rules across various domains: legal evidence, objectives of Islamic law, benefits and harms, means and preventive measures, textual implications, juristic reasoning and fatwa issuance, and resolution of conflicting evidence. The research concludes with a recommendation to encourage applied research in activating fundamental and purposive rules in contemporary issues.
