Transformation(Istihalah) is one of the purifiers that there is a consensus among jurists on it.  The reason is metamorphosing the issue of religious law into another. In this paper, we will define the meaning of the transformation and explain that it has not come from the Shari'ah but from the Convention(o'rf). The definition states: "Transformation means the change of an impure thing into something that has real or apparent purity customarily". Then we will examine concepts such as "metamorphosis" and "sublation" to clarify their differences with transformation. We will also take a look at the cases of doubt in the realization of transformation(Istihalah) and discuss in some examples and Fatwas about the differences between the Rule of Purity and the transformation(Istihalah).

Collagen is known to be a useful biocompatible material. Excellent biocompatibility, biological properties such as biodegradability and immunity make collagen a reliable source for medical applications. In university laboratories, they produce collagen from a variety of sources in order to be suitable for research work, but in the field of manufacturing a functional product that can be used in the medical industry and so on, the subject is quite different. The first issue is the animal source of collagen production that must be considered. In addition to the quality of the collagen and its cost-effectiveness, the way that the animal is caught and slaughtered, and the permissiblity of its meat are so important. Also, since the production of collagen is for medical use, the production process must meet the required standards. Nowandish Aafaq Company has been successful in producing Halal collagen with utilizing experienced personnel as well as passing various stages of research and a lot of tests. This paper has tried to examine the material of collagen, its characteristics, challenges and requirements of its production.

Iron is a very important mineral for health. The role of Iron in the biological processes of our body is vital and undeniable, and the use of it in the diet and drug supplements of pregnant women can have a special effect on maintaining their health and well-being. It comes from some Islamic rules such as "necessity of prevention of probable harm" and "the necessity between the rule of reason and the rule  of the shari'a". In order to develop  Islamic laws and jurisprudence, it is necessary to consider the views of medical practitioners as well as Islamic scholars. But on the other hand, some  recommend not to use iron tabletspeaple ,based on traditional medicine, which can lead to a deficiency of this vital ingredient in pregnant women. Therefor, it causes irreparable harm such as neonatal death, Low birth weight (LBW) and neonatal diseases such as autism. So, according to the reason and Shari'a, the consumption of the Iron is sufficient for pregnant women, otherwise they  will face physical and psychological disturbances. This paper has tried to explain the permissiblity of the use of Iron by pregnant women from the Islamic point of view by using the verses and narrations of the infallibles.
