Islamic jurisprudence addresses bioethics and medical ethics through principles derived from the Quran, Hadith, and the objectives of Shariah (Maqasid al-Shariah), focusing on preserving life, preventing harm, and promoting public welfare. Scholars use these principles to evaluate modern medical issues—like organ donation, end-of-life care, and genetic engineering—through a framework called *fiqh al-tibb* (jurisprudence of medicine). Decisions are typically based on five ethical principles: necessity (*darura*), avoiding harm (*la darar*), seeking benefit, justice, and the sanctity of human life. Islamic bioethics emphasizes the importance of intentions, the welfare of the patient, and the ethical responsibility of healthcare providers.
