Modern Reproductive Technologies, Aesthetic Surgery and Contraception in Islamic Law: A Case Study of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

handle is hein.journals/jlsup48 and id is 101 raw text is: Journal of Law and Society Law College Vol. XLVIII, No. 70 University of Peshawar Jan 2017 MODERN REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES, AESTHETIC SURGERY AND CONTRACEPTION IN ISLAMIC LAW: A CASE STUDY OF KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA Muhammad Nadeem' and Maryam Khan Sher 2 Abstract: This paper questions the scientific techniques and developments in three important areas of health sciences from Islamic perspective ,the first being Aesthetic Surgery commonly known as Cosmetic Surgery ,the second are modern reproductive technologies particularly artificial insemination and test tube babies, the third is Contraception. The first part of the paper studies the body and face reconstruction and other related surgical specialties from Islamic Perspective. The Second is a keen analysis of Developments in Infertility &Reproductive Health Sciences; the third is the religion treatment of Contraception. The Quranic texts and Sunnah and the view point of different Imams are heavily relied upon as evidence. The concept of the creation of man, man's interference in the Law of Nature, and the relation of Bioethics with Religion all carries the discussion forward. The paper also takes in into discussion our health belief system. Do these medical possibilities in the realm of Science are sanctioned by our religion? Islam has so much to do with all areas of human related issues and so with the health engineering. Where the Muslim medical practitioners and scientists have a vast degree of contribution towards the development of health sciences, there Islam has strong remonstrance against intermeddling with the Law of Nature. Hermaphrodites, gender transformation, sale of bodily organs, induced sterilization, the handling of child birth by a male practitioner etc., have never attained any dignity in Islam and consequently by its religious codes. Pakistan claims itself to be an Islamic democracy. We as Muslims should have an unambiguous clear cut religious stance on the status of these medical practices.
