In the modern era, with the rapid advancement of science, genetic engineering has provided a suitable foundation for producing transgenic animals to achieve important scientific objectives. However, despite the increasing production of these organisms, one of the prevalent issues concerning them is the examination of their permissibility or prohibition in terms of consumption, and subsequently, the approval or disapproval of using their products in Islamic societies. Therefore, given the necessity of investigating this matter, the present research, through a descriptive-analytical method, explores the effectiveness of genetic modification in permitting the use of transgenic animal products. The findings suggest that if genetic modification affects the nature of the transgenic animal, this process could influence the legal ruling regarding the animal, and consequently, affect the permissibility of benefiting from such organisms' products. Otherwise, even with the occurrence of genetic modification, the process will have no role in determining the legal ruling for transgenic animals.
