AB  - The development of modern biotechnology has the potential 
  to enhance the quality of the industrial, medical and agricultural sectors worldwide. 
  However, it has created a divisive debate globally on its positive and negative 
  impacts. The objective of this study is to assess the permissible status of 
  interspecies gene transfers in plant biotechnology from the Islamic perspective. 
  This study involved the identification and interpretation of the verses from 
  al-Quran and quotations from al-Sunnah and the analysis of other relevant Islamic 
  sources. The permissible status of food derived from plant biotechnology according 
  to the Islam perspective must fulfill the concept of halalan tayyiban. Halalan 
  tayyiban refers to the permissible status of food in relation to Syariah or 
  the Islamic law. There are two important parts in determining the status of 
  halalan tayyiban for plant biotechnology products the beginning process (input) 
  or the gene sources and the final process (output) which refers to the direct 
  or indirect impact of the final products to the five objectives of syariah. 
  In conclusion from the Islamic point of view, the development of modern biotechnology 
  is permitted if the inserted genes are taken from halal (permissible) sources 
  and at the same time it does not cause any harmful effects to the five objectives 
  of syariah.
