Maqasid Al-Shariah and Biomedicine: Bridging Moral, Ethical, and Policy Discourses

---

Written by a uniquely positioned scholar, this book addresses a notable gap in scholarship by exploring links between the maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah and contemporary healthcare. Discussions about maqāṣid have become prevalent within Muslim public, professional, academic, and policy circles, as they are seen as means to bridge the classical tradition with modern exigencies. Accordingly, this book critically engages with maqāṣid thought in relation to the concepts, goals, practices, and social structures of biomedicine, highlighting both the potential and limitations of current approaches. It aims to inspire an interdisciplinary dialogue, motivating scholars to refine maqāṣid theories, update implementation frameworks, and conduct applied research to address contemporary bioethical challenges. By addressing questions about the relevance of maqāṣid to health and societal well-being, and their potential to inform healthcare practices and policies, the book lays essential groundwork for scholarly engagement at the intersection of Islamic law and biomedicine.
