Abstract

The goal of this research is to examine how Islamic jurisprudence can provide answers to questions about genetically modified foods by combining Islamic Fiqh and scientific knowledge to protect consumers from their harmful effects. The research problem arises from the fact that consumers, in an Islamic state and elsewhere, face similar issues that must be addressed by governments and individuals. Islam, as a religion, provides a comprehensive framework for protecting the rights of consumers. Islamic jurisprudence offers guidelines for creating an environment where consumers› interests are optimally protected. These guidelines are based on the divine principles established by Allah, who has promised believers rewards in both this world and the Hereafter for adhering to these principles. Evidence indicates that genetically modified foods may be harmful; therefore, the study followed an inductive and deductive approach to achieve its objectives. According to Islamic Jurisprudence, if any food could cause harm to human health, it should be labelled as such to inform consumers. Customers ought to have the ability to assert their right to choose.
