A: No. There are multiple approved versions (Hanafi, Jafari Shiite, Maliki). The FIMA Islamic Code of Medical Ethics (2005/2015 edition) is the most widely accepted Sunni reference.
One of the most critical sections in any Islamic medical guideline concerns the definition of death and end-of-life care.
The Quran explicitly states: "And whoever saves one life, it is as if he had saved mankind entirely" (Surah Al-Maidah 5:32). This verse establishes the preservation of life ( Hifz al-Nafs ) as one of the primary objectives of Islamic Law ( Maqasid al-Shari’ah ). Consequently, any medical intervention aimed at saving a life is not just a scientific procedure but an act of worship.
When accessing a document regarding Islamic guidelines on medicine, one will inevitably encounter a set of core axioms derived from the Quran and the Sunnah (traditions of the Prophet Muhammad). These principles serve as the bedrock for all medical ethics in the Islamic world.
