DOHA: The Research Center for Islamic Legislation and Ethics (CILE) is holding a seminar on the “principles of bioethics” at the Qatar Faculty of Islamic Studies tomorrow.
This is the first in a series of events being organised by CILE, a member of Qatar Foundation. The three-day seminar aims to bring together scholars of Islamic jurisprudence and Shariah under one forum to discuss and tackle relevant contemporary issues.
The participants will attempt to find solutions to two paramount questions: the first will examine what the Islamic principles of bioethics are, and the second will study whether the four principles of bioethics as defined in the West are in fact universal.
CILE, a member of the Qatar Faculty of Islamic Studies, specialises in Islamic legislation and ethical thought with a main focus on applied principles. Speakers at the seminar include Sheikh Dr Abdallahi Boya, Sheikh Dr Ali Qaradaghi, Sheikh Dr Ahmed Raissouni, Sheikh Dr Abdul Sattar Abu Ghuddah, Dr Annelien Bredenoord, Dr Mohammad Albar, Dr Hassan Pasha and Dr Tom Beauchamp.
