Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to explore contemporary medical applications related to Islamic jurisprudential rules on harm. It seeks to highlight the role of these principles in addressing modern medical issues and shaping ethical medical practices in accordance with Islamic law.

Methods: The study adopts both an inductive and analytical approach. It is structured into two main sections: the first addresses the theoretical foundations of harm-related jurisprudential rules, while the second examines their contemporary medical applications.

Results: The study reveals several key findings, notably that any medical practice leading to widespread harm is prohibited under Islamic law. This includes the monopolization of medical devices and unqualified medical practice, which justifies placing incompetent doctors under guardianship. The study also emphasizes the necessity of integrating Islamic jurisprudence into medical ethics education.

Conclusion: This research examines contemporary medical applications of jurisprudential rules on harm, focusing on the fundamental principle of "harm must be removed" and its derived sub-rules. The study underscores the importance of establishing a comprehensive framework for medical jurisprudence and consolidating scattered rulings related to harm in the medical field.
