DNA Report: Shariah & Legal Status

Abstract

The religion of Islam is an eternal religion. Its teachings will remain until the Resurrection. The shariah of Islam has solutions to all the modern problems arising from the growing development of the world, which the scholars are explaining according to the modern requirements. Among other scientific problems in modern times, one problem is Deoxyribonucleic acid. Today, DNA is used to solve various legal problems. Especially in the courts, rape or adultery cases are investigated through the DNA which makes access to the criminal possible.

Similarly, in the case of unknown parentage of the child DNA tests are utilized to determine the father. The third important issue which can be related to DNA is to find the identity of the killer in a murder case through it. What is the ruling of Islamic Sharia in all these issues? Although a lot of work has been done on it, there is a need to clarify the Jurisprudential and legal status of the contemporary issues in the context of DNA and try to find what Islamic jurisprudence has to say in these issues. This article deals with all these issues in detail.
