Islamic medical ethics (bio-fiqh) concerns the evaluation of medical practice and biotechnological developments in light of usul al-fiqh and Islamic values. The preservation of life, non-maleficence, patient rights and human dignity are among its core principles.
Many current issues — organ transplantation, reproductive technologies, genetic intervention, end-of-life decisions and ethics in epidemics — call for fresh ijtihad within the methodology of Islamic law.
A leading figure of bio-fiqh in Turkey, Assoc. Prof. Tuba Erkoç Baydar treats this field systematically in works such as "Fiqh and Bioethics" and "Medicine and Ethics in Times of Corona".
