Since the beginning of the human journey, human beings have produced various tools to survive and facilitate life which has laid the foundation of modern technology. From the most primitive tools of ancient human history like nails and wheels to today's computers and artificial intelligence systems, the world has witnessed countless inventions and immense development in technology. In fact, it has become possible to enhance humans mentally and physically thanks to advanced gene technologies. The issue has gone far beyond seemingly innocent aims of preventing or curing diseases to ensure a healthier and prosperous life. It has turned into a search for immortality on earth and endless life expectancy. The fact that DNA can easily be interfered with through gene editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 has brought along multifaceted and complex problems that need to be examined not only from a legal, philosophical, and moral perspective but also from Islamic law (fiqh) perspective too. This study focuses primarily on using gene editing technology for enhancement purposes and aims to evaluate the issue from a fiqh perspective. First, it puts forward the ethical discussions on the subject. Then it examines the topic on the axis of Islamic law.
