Abstract

To investigate the questions that Muslim patients, embryologists, paramedics, clinical counsellor and doctors may have pertaining to the compliance of Assisted Reproductive Technique (ART) to Shari’aa. Methods: As a preliminary study, an open-ended survey was administered to participants. Participants for the survey comprised of 21 patients, 2 embryologists, 2 doctors, 4 paramedics and 1 counsellor. Results: Data analysis showed that most of the participants posed questions that fall into six classifications which are: Munakahat (Family Law), social Hukm, Fiqh Ibadah, Fiqh Qadha (Islamic Hukm), General Fiqh and Usul Fiqh. Conclusion: It is clear that even though the participants were rather familiar with some of the existing Fatwas pertaining to ART and IVF in Malaysia, there are still remaining doubts which need to be clarified. This indicates that there are challenges faced in seeking and providing ART treatment to Muslim patients. This needs to be addressed perhaps in the form of Shari’aa-compliant guidelines to provide a clear explanation of each process and procedure in fertility treatment.

辅助生殖技术是否符合伊斯兰教法?马来西亚生育中心个案研究

调查穆斯林患者、胚胎学家、护理人员、临床顾问和医生可能存在的与辅助生殖技术（ART）遵守伊斯兰教有关的问题。方法：作为一项初步研究，对参与者进行开放式调查。调查参与者包括21名患者、2名胚胎学家、2名医生、4名护理人员和1名顾问。结果：数据分析显示，大多数参与者提出的问题分为六类，即：Munakahat（家庭法）、社会Hukm、Fiqh Ibadah、Fiqh Qadha（伊斯兰Hukm）、General Fiqh和Usul Fiqh。结论：很明显，尽管参与者对马来西亚现有的一些与ART和IVF有关的Fatwas相当熟悉，但仍有一些疑问需要澄清。这表明在寻求和向穆斯林患者提供抗逆转录病毒治疗方面面临挑战。这可能需要以符合伊斯兰教法的指导方针的形式来解决，以明确解释生育治疗的每一个过程和程序。
