Abstract
In today's era, with the increasing progress of science, genetic engineering has provided a suitable platform for the production of transgenic animals in order to achieve important scientific goals. Now, despite the increasing production of these types of animals, one of the problems related to them is to examine the sanctity of this type of animals and, accordingly, the permissibility or impermissibility of profiting from their products in the Islamic society. Therefore, due to the necessity of investigating this issue, the present research has explained the effectiveness of genetic modification in the consumption of transgenic animal products in a descriptive-analytical way. The findings indicate that assuming the effect of genetic modification on the nature of the transgenic animal, this process can be effective in determining the ruling specific to the animal and consequently affect the license to benefit from the products of this type of animal. Otherwise, even assuming the occurrence of genetic change in the animal, genetic modification will not play a role in determining the verdict of the transgenic animal.
