Abstract

This study addresses a prominent contemporary application of a fundamental jurisprudential principle—namely, "what is overwhelmed and consumed is as nonexistent" In the context of neonatal food security issues. The research explores the permissibility of using food and pharmaceutical products that may contain trace amounts of impure or prohibited substances, and the extent to which this principle aligns with international medical standards permitting negligible levels of contaminants without posing a health risk.

The study begins with a Sharia-based theoretical foundation of the principle, followed by an analysis of its practical contexts and an exploration of potential integration between Islamic jurisprudence and modern science to ensure the safety of infant food and medication. A combination of descriptive, inductive, and analytical methodologies is employed, based on reliable Islamic legal and medical sources.

The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of adopting the principle "what is overwhelmed and consumed is as nonexistent" in shaping food and medical policies, in a way that protects infant welfare without conflicting with Islamic legal rulings.
