Since the introduction of the cultivated meat burger in 2013, numerous discussions have transpired between researchers and consumers, manifesting in various forms such as academic publications, opinions on personal websites and interactions on social platforms. For Muslim consumers, a primary concern revolves around the halal status of cultivated meat, given the pivotal role of adhering to a halal diet as a divine obligation in their lives. Therefore, this article seeks to systematically review the existing literature on cultivated meat from an Islamic perspective as articulated by Muslim scholars, whether these perspectives are issued by an established fatwa organisation or representations of personal views. The sources incorporated into this analysis span from academic publications, newspaper articles, fatwa bodies, personal websites and interviews. Employing thematic analysis, five principal themes were discerned within the discourse among Muslim scholars regarding cultivated meat: (i) the ontological status of cultivated meat, (ii) the status and source of stem cells used in the cultivation process, (iii) the theological implications of cultivated meat production on altering God's creation, (iv) foundational principles for halal cultivated meat production, and (v) the contemporary necessity of cultivated meat from the perspective of al-maqasid al-shariah. It is duly recommended that international fatwa organisations such as the International Islamic Fiqh Academy (IIFA) engage in discussions and deliberations on this matter of growing significance within the food industry. The fatwas and resolutions issued by IIFA are frequently cited as the most recognised authority in many Islamic countries.

Ijtihad kolektif merupakan suatu usaha bersepadu yang menggabungkan kepakaran pelbagai bidang dalam merungkai permasalah fiqh yang timbul. Antara permasalah fiqh yang memerlukan aplikasi ijtihad kolektif adalah isu perubatan kontemporari. Hal ini kerana, isu perubatan merupakan suatu isu kompleks yang memerlukan para sarjana hukum Islam memahami dahulu gambaran isu perubatan tersebut sebelum memutuskan sebarang hukum. Justeru, artikel ini akan membincangkan konsep ijtihad kolektif dan aplikasinya dalam isu perubatan kontemporari dengan menjadikan resolusi Akademi Fiqh Islam Antarabangsa (Internasional Islamic Fiqh Academy – IIFA) sebagai kajian kes. Kajian ini menggunakan metodologi kualititatif dengan menggabungkan analisis dokumen dan kajian kes. Hasil kajian menunjukkan IIFA telah memutuskan 29 resolusi perubatan daripada sejumlah 216 resolusi sepanjang 22 siri persidangan bermula tahun 1984 hingga 2015. Kajian kes ke atas 9 resolusi yang diputuskan pada tahun 1985 hingga 1990 menunjukkan semua resolusi diputuskan selepas melalui sesi perbincangan antara pakar rujuk hukum Islam dengan bantuan doktor pakar dalam bidang perubatan dan menepati konsep ijtihad kolektif.

Taghyir khalqillah (alteration of Allah’s creation) is one of the ways Satan misleads people. This was revealed by Allah subhanahu wa ta‘ala in the Qur’an, Surah al-Nisa’, verse 119. The act of taghyir khalqillah is explicitly prohibited but the interpretation of Muslim jurist on its message vary. Therefore, this article will discuss the meaning of taghyir khalqillah in the twelve mufassirin perspectives, carefully chosen from a variety of backgrounds. The study employs qualitative research design in achieving its objectives. There are twenty-six jurists from salaf and khalaf who attempted to interpret the meaning of taghyir khalqillah in a total of fourteen interpretations. The concept of taghyir khalqillah is divided into five principles, namely (i) physical and metaphysical alteration, (ii) temporary and permanent alteration, (iii) purpose of the alteration was made, (iv) maslahah of alteration and (v) results of the physical alteration.

Industrial Master Plan (IMP) 2006-2020 aims to make Malaysia to become global hub for the production and trade in Halal goods and services. In order to reach this vision, all the information and output must be channeled throughout all segments of people including the underserved community such as the Orang Asli community. One of the methods for delivering the awareness was education program. Therefore, the Halal awareness program was conducted under the purview of the IIUM International Institute for Halal Research and Training (INHART) on May 2015 in Orang Asli settlement Sg. Chiong village in Temenggor Lake, Gerik Perak. The objective of this paper is to study the level of Halal awareness amongst the Orang Asli community in Sg. Chiong village, Perak and to evaluate the issues and challenges in enhancing the Halal awareness and education in this area. This study uses a qualitative approach for the analysis, on-site observation and also semi-structured interview as part of the Knowledge Transfer Program (KTP) report. The result showed that the level of Halal awareness amongst the Orang Asli community in this settlement is in low level and it can be continuously improving in the future. In order to make Orang Asli community well aware and educated on Halal, necessary steps must be taken during the early ages of childhood to ensure the chain of knowledge would be continuous and sustainable throughout generations.

Social media interactions are more widespread in the digital world than conventional social interactions that take place physically and are limited to small groups of people. Although various social media applications have made people’s lives easier, on the other hand, they also cause users to engage in interactions that are free to violate boundaries, resulting in negative phenomena and harming other users. Religion should play an important role in digital social interactions on social media, just as it does in conventional social interactions. Prophet Muhammad SAW is the best example for social media interaction. This paper examines the problem of social media misconduct and presents a general guide to digital interaction, especially in the use of social media, with reference to several hadiths with the theme of Prophetic communication as the main reference. This research involves qualitative data through literature review by examining research documents and reports related to social media. Thematic analysis or mawḍū‘ī is done by collecting some selected hadith that have the theme of communication. The general guide for social media interaction that was developed is not only focused on worldly factors and implications, but also has a spiritual dimension by referring to Prophetic communication and following religious recommendations that emphasize the concept of Hablu min al-Nas. It is hoped that this guide can be used for social media interactions that indirectly create a safe social networking environment.

One of the credible inventions is 3D Bioprinting or organ printing which uses layer by layer fabrication manner and is an emerging and developing technology offered by the research industry and can help the humanity in certain areas of life e.g., health, food, etc. The technology has been found beneficial in wide spectrum within the medical industry in fighting the shortage of organ and tissues donations. It is also helpful for the pharmaceuticals for determining effectiveness of new drugs and the food industry players to develop new type of edible meat for humans’ consumption. However, behind all these benefits, there are unresolved issues that need be discussed critically and addressed properly within the ethics, law and orders of Islamic worldview. This study aims to indentify the Sharī‘ah related issues raised consequent upon the invention of 3D bioprinting. The study uses data collection from scholars’ writings, academic journals, and Islamic fatwa related to bioethics. The data are analysed thematically. The results show that there is a loophole in bioethics research on Sharī‘ah compliant guidelines for the Muslims users with regards to bioprinting usage. It is suggested for the experts to do thorough research on Sharī‘ah compliant guidelines of bioprinting to be the benchmark guideline for authorities such as JAKIM in Malaysia and other authorities such as the Ministry of Health in treating the Muslim patients.
