Mu'amalat

Muamalat (also muʿāmalāt, Arabic: معاملات, literally "transactions"[1] or "dealings")[2] is a part of Islamic jurisprudence, or fiqh.

Sources agree that muamalat includes Islamic "rulings governing commercial transactions"[3] and Majallah al-Ahkam al-Adliyyah).

"[16] According to Aznan Hasan, basic principles of muamalat, are that dealings and contracts in Islam ...[17] According to Abdullaah Jalil, Asharaf Mohd Ramli, Syahidawati Shahwan there are four "theories" that underlie the framework of Mu'amalat dealings:[18] Jalil, Ramli and Shahwan also note that the development of Mu'amalat rules is less strict than 'Ibadat.

Thus, the “quarter of sales” would encompass, among many other subjects, partnerships, guaranty, gifts and bequests, while that of “marriage” would cover as varied a field as dissolution of matrimony, foster relationships, custody, and wifely and family support.

In the same vein, the “quarter of injuries” includes homicide, the Quranic punishments and the laws of war and peace, among other topics.
