ABSTRACT
The lacuna means that people are yet to establish a suitable vocabulary to talk about the types of moral decisions that researchers make in such contexts, the kinds of moral resources they may rely on and how these interact. In this chapter, the author hopes that this study enriches existing bioethics languages to help us better understand and explain research ethics decision-making in such contexts and enable better training, education and collaboration within and between different settings. The distinctive mechanism may also play a role in alleviating some of the individual, personal moral tensions and anxieties that researchers encounter when negotiating different moral resources that do not concur. The qualitative methodology employed was ideal for capturing and further exploring issues involving Islam that participants offered as being morally problematic within work.
