Question
Now in Turkey, cultivated meat is starting to be produced, and it is widely spread in European countries. Muslims have expressed doubts about it, both in terms of legal rulings and the health aspects of cultivated meat, which is also referred to as clean meat, manufactured meat, or lab-grown meat. This is meat produced from cultivating animal cells in a lab instead of from slaughtered animals, and it is a form of cellular agriculture. What is our esteemed Sheikh's opinion on this matter? We want a comprehensive answer that we can translate to benefit from it, God willing. Of course, this project has raised concerns among livestock breeders, as if cultivated meat is produced and spread, it will significantly reduce the number of people raising animals.
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If there are no prohibitions in what is used to make it, and it is not harmful to those who eat it medically, and it has benefits for the body, then it is permissible, and God knows best.
