Özet:

 Islamic law has made restrictions on foods in terms of halal and haram. However, as the emerging technological innovations allow to modify the ingredients of foods and beverages, the ruling of such modifications is disputed. In fact, cultured meat, which is a sustainable solution to meet the increasing meat demand, stands as a solid example of such discussions. Within the literature, cultured meat is widely studied in terms of engineering of production process and its positive and negative effects on human health, but the studies on Islamic jurisprudential aspects of this technology is limited. This study aims to discuss the legitimacy of cultured meat from the view of Islamic Law. First, the halāl and harām criteria of Islamic law on food are investigated. Subsequently, information about the type of stem cells used in the production of cultured meat, the production process and the methods used in the process are explained, and the advantages and disadvantages of cultured meat produced by the certain methods are discussed. Finally, from the perspective of Islamic law, the stem cells used in the production of cultured meat, the serum used in the production environment and cultured meat as a whole concept are discussed in terms of fiqh principles.

 İslam hukuku, gıdalar konusunda helal ve haram olmaları açısından sınırlandırmalarda bulunmuştur. Ortaya çıkan teknolojik yeniliklerle birlikte yiyecek ve içeceklerin muhtevasının değiştirilmesi mümkün kılınmış ve bu gıdaların hükmünün ne olacağı tartışılmıştır. Nitekim bunun somut örneklerinden biri, son yıllarda üretilmeye başlanmış, artan et ihtiyacı sorununun çözümünde sürdürülebilirliği sağlayacak bir tekniğin ürünü olarak sunulan yapay ettir. Literatürde, yapay etin üretim süreçlerini içeren mühendislik çalışmalarına ek olarak yapay etin insan sağlığı açısından olumlu ve olumsuz yönlerine dair çalışmalar bulunmakla birlikte fıkhî yönüne dair çalışmalar kısıtlıdır. Bu çalışmada, yapay etin fıkhî meşrûiyetinin tartışılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda öncelikle İslam hukukunun yiyecekler konusundaki helal ve haram kriterleri incelenmiştir. Akabinde yapay etin üretiminde kullanılacak olan kök hücrenin cinsi, üretim süreci ve süreçte kullanılan yöntemler hakkında bilgiler aktarılmış, bu yöntemlerle üretilen yapay etin avantajlı ve dezavantajlı yönleri ortaya konmuştur. Son olarak, İslam hukuku perspektifinden yapay etin üretiminde kullanılan kök hücre, üretim ortamında kullanılan serum ve genel olarak fıkhî ilkeler açısından yapay et değerlendirilmiştir.
