The\u00a0Fiqh and\u00a0Usul\u00a0Al-Fiqh Festival 2024 (Mahrajan\u00a0Sofi)\u00a0launched with a captivating intellectual forum, “Liqa\u2019\u00a0Mufakkirin: Unveiling the Fiqh Behind Halal Pharma Innovations,” held during its grand opening ceremony on Monday, 14 October 2024, at the Main Auditorium, IIUM Gombak. The event was officially inaugurated by the Head of the Department of Fiqh and\u00a0Usul\u00a0al-Fiqh, Assoc. Prof.\u00a0Dr.Mohd. Fuad bin Md. Sawari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forum brought together two\u00a0experts\u00a0in Islamic medical jurisprudence and the halal pharmaceutical sector. Leading the discussion as\u00a0panelists\u00a0were\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Sayyed Mohamed Muhsin from the Department of Fiqh and\u00a0Usul\u00a0al-Fiqh and Assoc. Prof.\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Betania Kartika\u00a0Muflih\u00a0from the International Institute for Halal Research and Training (INHART), delivering their expert analyses on the role of Islamic jurisprudence in modern halal pharmaceutical innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event “Liqa\u2019\u00a0Mufakkirin: Unveiling the Fiqh Behind Halal Pharma Innovations” delved into the intersection of Islamic jurisprudence and modern pharmaceutical practices.\u00a0The panelists\u00a0discussed how medicines are certified as halal<\/em>, emphasizing the growing demand for halal<\/em>-certified products. The event highlighted the challenges faced in ensuring that pharmaceutical products adhere to Shariah law, with scholars explaining how\u00a0fiqh<\/em>\u00a0plays a crucial role in determining the permissibility of ingredients and processes. Key concepts such as the five fundamentals of\u00a0maqasid\u00a0al-shariah<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Qawaid Fiqhiyyah<\/em>\u00a0were explored, illustrating the importance of preserving religion, life, intellect, lineage, and wealth in the context of health and medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A central point was made about the importance of ensuring that pharmaceuticals are not only halal in their ingredients but also in their production, storage, and handling. The Malaysian Standard MS2024 was cited as a critical reference point, ensuring that halal pharmaceuticals are free from contamination by impure substances (najs<\/em>) and are safe for consumption. Participants also referenced Qur’anic verses such as Surah Al-Baqarah:\u00a0verse 168, Surah al-A\u2019raf: 157, Suran al-Maidah: 3 & 90\u00a0which speaks to the importance of consuming what is both halal and wholesome\u00a0and staying away from the prohibited materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethical challenges in the halal pharmaceutical industry were also discussed, particularly concerning the transparency of ingredients and the necessity of ensuring products are\u00a0halal and\u00a0tayyiban\u00a0(clean and pure). Issues such as the use of\u00a0gelatin\u00a0derived from pigs and alcohol in medical products were debated, with scholars emphasizing the need for alternatives when faced with non-halal ingredients. The principle of necessity (darurat<\/em>) was highlighted, allowing for the use of prohibited substances only in life-threatening situations, but the event also stressed the importance of research to find halal substitutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session concluded by addressing the challenges facing the pharmaceutical industry in producing halal-certified products. Scholars emphasized the need for continuous research to find replacements for non-halal ingredients and stressed the importance of students in the religious field contributing to the development of halal pharmaceuticals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both speakers highlighted the significance of incorporating the values of\u00a0ihsan<\/em>\u00a0(excellence),\u00a0taqwa<\/em>\u00a0(piety), and\u00a0ikhlas<\/em> (sincerity), as well as pioneering efforts in research and innovation within the pharmaceutical industry. These principles ensure that advancements are not only ethically sound and beneficial but also rewardable, promising, and focused on serving the well-being of all humanity.***<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
