Summary
The 51st Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee, held on 11 March 2002, ruled that human cloning is prohibited (haram). The ruling applies to any purpose whatsoever, including medical purposes. The reason given is that cloning contradicts the natural disposition of human creation as determined by Allah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Muzakarah telah memutuskan bahawa pengklonan manusia untuk apa-apa tujuan sekalipun adalah haram kerana ianya bertentangan dengan fitrah kejadian manusia yang ditentukan oleh Allah S.W.T.
