Master of Pharmacy

Animal welfare issues and the ethics surrounding this practice are receiving more attention as more animals are used in research projects. Two key purposes of information dissemination regarding existing ethical issues and alternatives in animal experiments are to increase researcher awareness of potential methods of using animals in the experiment and to ensure that potential users are aware of the established alternatives. For illustration, legislation adopted in many nations during the 1980s mandates that laboratory animal applications be minimized, improved, and replaced whenever possible in accordance with the 3Rs. As a result, scientists from all over the world tried to incorporate the 3Rs into their biomedical research regarding the welfare of the lab animals. But since their revelations, the Qur'an, the Muslim religion's holy book, and Hadiths have included the laws governing how to care for and treat animals. Islam holds that humans should care for animals' welfare and living conditions because they are seen as a representation of Allah's intelligence and power. According to a number of Islamic manuscripts, humans are in charge of providing the bare necessities for animals' well-being and they have their own place in the creation hierarchy. In an effort to promote the provision of thorough ethical regulations in animal experiments, which their establishment could be advantageous for animal ethics committees or research institutes, this paper has attempted to review ethical considerations in animal experiments and regarding resources in this case.
