Islamic Law of Contracts

This checklist offers a brief guide to the nature of contracts in Islam-derived law, and outlines some key differences between these contracts and their Western legal system equivalents.

The basic prerequisites to establish a valid contract agreement under Islamic law relate to the legal status of the parties seeking to sign the contract, the way the contract is presented, and finally the subject and consideration of the actual contract

While many different types of contract exist, the most common contract for the sale of goods is the mu’awadat contract of exchange. Contracts in Islam-derived law fully respect the high moral principles of values expected of all Muslims.

Contract law in Muslim countries supports only transactions which would be classified as “ethical” in the West. Islamic contract law can be highly complex, both in terms of its jurisprudence and in its application.

Seek expert advice related to Islamic contract law. Given the complexity of many elements of Islamic law of contract, particularly the definition of what constitutes acceptance of a verbal proposal, expert qualified advice should be sought before contract discussions begin, let alone any contract is signed.

Don’t assume that the principles of Islamic law bear close comparison with those of Western laws. Contracts agreed under Muslim-derived laws can be less binding in nature than most contracts drawn up under Western legal systems.
