| Summary: | This research attempts to study the applicability of the proposed Harm Reduction
Programme from the perspective of SharFah. This programme launched by the
Ministry of Health is a as an effort to curb the spreading of HIVIAIDS in the country.
This programme which includes the needle and syringes exchange programme and
the free condom programme ignites much controversies among Muslim. Thus, this
study attempts to confirm any SharTah rulings applicable in justifying this proposed
solution. The principle of 'darrlrat' and the principle of 'rnaglahah' are used to
justify the applicability of this programme. The researchers also rely on the
information and material collected from primary data and secondary data collected
from the Ministry of Health, journals, websites and others. The analytical study is
made accordingly. The study found that the proposed programme is suitable to be
implemented based on the principle of 'darirat ' and the principle of 'maglahah '. In
this case, the 'maglahah ' (interest) of the family will be protected. It is also believed
that by tolerating lesser harm, a greater harm will be eliminated. This study also
supports the proposed programme provided that it is the last resort after any other
means to reduce HIVIAIDS cases have taken place. However, the permissibility of
the said programme is only valid if certain conditions are met. This research is
believed to be able to provide solutions to clear the doubts concerning Harm
Reduction Programme. It is also hoped that it will be a significant reference and guide
to the authority to implement the proposed programme in order to curb the increasing
number of HIVIAIDS in Malaysia and at the same time the implementation is in
accordance with the spirit of SharFah. |
