Abstract

Genetics is the study of heredity principles and their relative mechanisms or the process of traits are transferred from parents to next generations. Biotechnologists can help the families to solves their problems by means of assisted reproduction and allied technologies offering new horizons of understanding the kinship. Also suggest the possible strategies to manage the inherited incidences related to kinship. As for fruitful productivity of genetic engineering, religion should be intrinsically compatible.  Biotechnology attempts to explain the reality and basic principles of human inheritance by means of DNA sequences. Describing the Islamic worldview on counselling the importance of inheritance is a comprehensive approach to familiarise the ummah. For this, genetics could be a holistic and universal tool to begin with. In this paper, the principle sources of Islamic Shariah law are al-Quran and Sunnah along with other Islamic principles such as ijmaa with Qawaid Fiqhiyyah and Maqasid al-Shariah will also be applied to frame the scope of genetics in Islamic ethical guidelines. Such guidelines could be used to brief the many segments of society such as students, general public, biologists, law enforcement agencies and regulating stakeholders. These guidelines will deliver a comprehensive, practical and applicable view on Islamic law while welcoming the latest discoveries of genetic engineering and advanced biotechnology. In conclusion, genetics with Islamic ethics is the most appropriate platform to brief and guide the society on the adequacy of current genetics and modern biotechnology development, while focusing on the science of genetics and applying it to our lives with an Islamic perspective.
