Al-Azhar issued a statement clarifying the ruling on using artificial intelligence in scientific research, confirming that it is permissible when employed solely as an assisting tool to collect and organize information. The statement emphasized that the researcher must be capable of conducting the research independently without full reliance on AI, and should remain the primary contributor by verifying the accuracy of information, attributing it to its original sources, and properly arranging and presenting it.

Al-Azhar warned against using AI to generate content entirely and claiming it as one’s own without real effort, describing such practice as deceitful, misleading, and false, leading to the weakening of human intellect and risking scientific plagiarism and misinformation.

The statement also highlighted that AI serves two main purposes: a technological purpose, achieving tasks in new ways, and a scientific purpose, assisting in answering questions about humans and living beings. The ruling reaffirmed that the default in using any new technology is permissibility unless its harm outweighs its benefits.
