Genomics
presents an unparalleled leap in science, and this is due to the phenomenal
insight it provides into the origins of humanity, a subject that has many
implications. The perspective of Islamic jurisprudence and the inclusion of an
Islamic lens can provide an understanding for the implications it has, through
reference to the Holy Quran and Sunnah and the utilisation of Islamic
jurisprudential methods. Under this context, this study is presented to derive
relevant Shari'ah rulings through the available evidence in order to enable the
relationship between Shari'ah and empirical science in genomics.
