From Islam’s perspective, to simulate a complete human being does not present a problem per se, and Islam does not take it to be a crime, but due to ethical, moral, and legal reasons relating to this issue, except in cases of absolute necessity, making use of such techniques is deemed illegal since if this becomes an everyday and common affair, the nucleus of social life and the philosophy of creation (procreation through marriage) will loose its meaning and it will create enormous ethical, social, and legal problems.

But the simulation of the other parts of the body or other forms of life such as animals due to the great benefits they can have for mankind in alleviating needs and securing health, is not only unproblematic but it is even desirable and the specialists in this field may well be encouraged to provide the medical and nutritional needs of man through the use of these techniques.
