Ibn Rushd (450 AH – 520 AH) and a Brief Biography of Ibn Rushd the Grandson (520 AH – 595 AH)

Cloning is the process of producing a new organism that is genetically identical to the original. In Islamic Jurisprudence, cloning raises many ethical and jurisprudential issues. Jurists agree that man has no right to manipulate divine creation except within the framework of necessity and for legitimate reasons. Among the main issues discussed were the inviolability of the manipulation of human life and the possible social and psychological effects of cloning. Islamic Jurisprudence emphasizes the preservation of lineages and family ties, which may be affected by cloning. The prevailing opinion among scientists is to reject human cloning while allowing scientific research in specific domains that serve public health.
