Summary
The Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee on 11 March 2002 ruled that human cloning is forbidden for any purpose, as it goes against the natural human creation determined by Allah. The use of stem cells for medical treatment and research is permitted if the cells are not obtained through cloning. This permission is conditional on it not contradicting Islamic law.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pengklonan manusia untuk apa-apa tujuan sekalipun adalah haram kerana ianya bertentangan dengan fitrah kejadian manusia yang ditentukan oleh Allah S.W.T.
