    abstract = {The development of modern biotechnological plants through 
  genetic engineering techniques is a method to improve the quality of crops in 
  terms of quality and quantity. However, the debate among scientists and Muslim 
  scholars in regarding with public interest and public corruption as to plant 
  products that produced by modern biotechnology which is well-known now a days 
  as Genetically Modified (GM) food is never stop. Thus, in the Islamic law there 
  are a few methods of preponderance or predominance which could be used in order 
  to find out the best way out of confusion in certain cases for legal rulings, 
  especially in the cases relating to GM food. The objectives of this study are 
  to examine the considerations of maslahah and mafsadah in purposes of Islamic 
  law in relating to issues of modern biotechnology and to elucidate the methods 
  of preponderance as well. It is important to understand here is everything that 
  existed on this earth whether it occurs naturally or is present through the 
  efforts of research and human expertise, all have benefits or advantages and 
  risks or disadvantages. In the view of Islamic law if a biotechnological product 
  is produced by hybrid efforts of using unlawful genes it is certainly clear 
  can be categorized as illegal to be consumed then it becomes forbidden. But 
  however, there are many products that are produced through biotechnological 
  processes are unclearly able to decide easily whether they are lawful or unlawful 
  for consumption by consumers. As such, a few methods laid down in this study 
  are the first attempt to give a way out of difficulties for easily making legal 
  rulings in this issue. So, it is hoped that the substance of this study will 
  give an initial guidance for Muslim scholars to make legal judgment if they 
  are facing the issues of GM food.}
