That is because...

That is because, according to the Holy Qur’an, all that is in the heaven and earth is made subject to and disposed for man; therefore, human right for utilization is not restricted to a specific species or type of creatures.

﴾Do you not see that Allah has disposed for you whatever there is in the heavens and whatever there is in the earth and He has showered upon you His blessings, the outward and the inward?﴿[^16] ﴾And He has disposed for you [benefit] whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth; all is from Him. There are indeed signs in that for a people who reflect.﴿[^17] 3.

The Type of Utilization of the Creatures After accepting the permission for utilization and its non-restriction to a specific type of creature, the most important issue is determining the extent of this utilization. There are two views in Islamic sources concerning determining the extent of man’s utilization of creatures: 1.3.

Non-Restriction : Some believe that the result of accepting “the creation of creatures for man” is the license for man’s unrestricted use of them (principle of permissibility = ibaha ), because making benefit from some creatures is something that man’s intellect is capable of comprehending without needing this legal precept.[^18] Consequently, by virtue of intellect and religion (texts), man is entitled to use the natures’ inanimate as well as the animate creatures in whatever way that they desire, except when we find a specific reason for the impermissibility of a specific type of exploitation.[^19] 2.3.

Restriction : In contrast, yet some others believe that the creation of creatures for man only suggests the existence of an formative relationship between man and other creatures, according to which the goal for creating the creatures is for man to make use of, without specifying what kind of utilization is legally or morally permissible.[^20] It seems that the statement, ﴾It is He who created for you all that is in the earth.﴿, although applying to individuals, i.e., suggesting the creation of all creatures for humankind, it does not apply to states, i.e., there is no mention of how to use the creatures.

So, it cannot be claimed that human beings has the right to use the creatures in whatever way they wish; rather, we should seek for a specific reason for being permitted as well as in what way to utilize any creature.[^21] 4.
