Mefleh Al-Jarrah, Kamal Hattab, Abdalla Albadreen — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0100

This study aims to elucidate the reality of Takaful insurance, its juristic adaptation, and the impact of this adaptation on Islamic legal rulings. It also seeks to assess the extent of compatibility of the practical applications of Takaful insurance carried out by the Jordan Islamic Insurance Company with the decisions of the Islamic Fiqh Academy and the Sharia standards set by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI). To this end, the research begins by presenting the reality of Takaful insurance, highlighting its differences from commercial insurance, and discussing its major juristic adaptations. The study also examines the juristic opinions regarding the Sharia rulings on the applications of Takaful insurance. Since the Sharia rulings on Takaful insurance are based on its juristic adaptation and its application in Islamic insurance companies, the research attempts to uncover the mechanisms for implementing this contract in the Jordan Islamic Insurance Company. This is done through a specific questionnaire developed based on AAOIFI standards and the decisions of the Islamic Fiqh Academy, distributed to managers and employees of the Islamic insurance company, as well as experts, academics, and clients of the Islamic insurance company with extensive experience in this field. The research concludes, after juristic discussions, that the best juristic adaptation for the Takaful insurance contract is mutual consideration with minimal permissible excess, and that there is no difference between Islamic insurance contracts and commercial insurance if both are applied in an Islamic company.

Terminology Renewal at al-Shatibi, its Indicators and Tributaries

Mohamed Semai, Rabab Ben Ayache — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0100

This research aims to serve the book Al Muwafaqat fi Usul al Shari'a by Imam Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi by contributing to highlighting some of its refined innovative aspects. It seeks to reveal the author's precision in dealing with usuli and jurisprudential terms, as well as his concern for refining the phenomenon of attention to wording and symbols at the expense of meanings that were prevalent in his time. The research reached several conclusions, the most important of which is that the conceptual intent (Maqasid) of Imam al-Shatibi had a significant impact on various jurisprudential discussions in his book Al-Mawafiqat, leading to a noticeable renewal of many terms either structurally or semantically. The aspects of usuli renewal in Imam al-Shatibi's work were diverse; they appeared in form and content, foundation and establishment, explanation, and representation. The terms benefited considerably from this renewal; he introduced new terms that had not been used before and expanded the scope of some other terminological concepts prevalent in his time. In addition, Imam al-Shatibi is considered one of the jurists who paid meticulous attention to terminology and refining their meanings. This was because he realized the influence of terms in directing and regulating knowledge, narrowing the scope of disagreement by resorting to them.

Impediments to the Implementation of Criminal Penalties in Sharia and Law: A comparative study

Abdallah Samara — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0100

This research study aimed to identify the obstacles to the implementation of penal sanctions in Islamic Sharia law and Jordanian penal law, by examining these obstacles from the texts of the Quran, the Prophetic Sunnah, and the opinions of jurisprudential schools, in comparison with Jordanian penal law. The study concluded that Islamic Sharia differs from some of the legal impediments stipulated by the Jordanian legislator, although it agrees with most of these impediments, especially regarding the avoidance of punishment based on suspicion, the necessity of verifying the elements of the crime, the suspension of punishment in cases of necessity, self-defense, and forgiveness by the victim.

Honey and Indian Costus as found in Prophetic Medicine and Pharmacognosy: A Creedal Comparison

Waseem Daana, Ibrahim Burqan — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0100

This study examines the medical uses of both honey and Indian costus in prophetic medicine, as well as the modern studies conducted on them through pharmacological science. It then compares honey and the studies conducted on it in pharmacology on one hand, and Indian costus and the studies conducted on it in pharmacology on the other hand. The study concluded several important results, the most important of which is that most of the modern pharmacological studies included in this research align with the noble prophetic traditions regarding the models of honey and Indian costus. This indicates the potential benefit of these studies within the religious and doctrinal framework, to demonstrate the prophethood of our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. As for the rest of the studies, they did not contradict his teachings, peace be upon him, but their evidence was speculative regarding the intended purpose, which does not make them independent evidence of the proof of prophethood; however, they can be used in conjunction with other evidence.

The Credit Card of Murabaha & Ijarah (Leasing) of Benefits and Services in the Palestinian Islamic Bank: A Critical and Analaytical Jurisprudential Study

Ayman al-Dabbagh — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0100

The research attempts to answer a crucial question: To what extent does the Mastercard issued by the Palestinian Islamic Bank adhere to Sharia principles and regulations related to agency contracts, Murabaha (cost-plus financing), and Ijarah (leasing)? The research followed a descriptive-analytical approach, examining everything related to the mentioned card and its application, along with the Sharia principles it is based on, through discussion, analysis, and critique. The research is distinguished by its analytical and critical jurisprudential study, producing a new Islamic banking product, amidst the scarcity of Sharia studies on it. The research was divided into two sections and a conclusion: the first dealt with defining the card, its application in the Palestinian Islamic Bank, and its Sharia adaptation. The second section addressed the most significant jurisprudential issues concerning it. The research concluded several key points, including genuine jurisprudential issues with the card undermining its legitimacy, such as violating agency and leasing rules regarding responsibility and guarantee, selling, and leasing in the seller's knowledge of the market value, and the client's acceptance of purchasing or leasing from the bank itself occurring in the card issuance agreement before the bank's ownership. It also noted the absence of genuine Sharia oversight ensuring Sharia compliance in operations and their regulations, which could lead to significant harm to Islamic banks in their form and differentiation from interest-based banks.

Interpretation of Legal Verses According to the Shafi'i School through Ibn Hajar's "Tuhfat al-Muhtaj" and Al-Ramli's "Nihayat al-Muhtaj": A comparative analytical study

Ammar Algumaei — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0100

The research focused on interpreting legal verses from the book of purification in Tuhfat al-Muhtaj by Ibn Hajar al-Haytami and Nihayat al-Muhtaj by al-Ramli, conducting a comparative analytical study of their interpretations. The significance of this research lies in its amalgamation of interpretations of legal verses from two fundamental texts, which are essential in understanding the relied-upon sources in Shafi'i jurisprudence, namely the conclusions of the eminent scholars Ibn Hajar and al-Ramli. This provides insight into the interpretation of legal verses within the framework of Shafi'i jurisprudence. The researcher arrived at several conclusions, including the following:

Jurisprudential texts often contain interpretations of legal verses and precise deductions that may not be found in many traditional exegesis texts.
The profound expertise of Ibn Hajar and al-Ramli in the science of interpretation, as well as their mastery in various fields beyond Shafi'i jurisprudence, is evident through their discussions on interpreting verses and responding to objections raised against their interpretations.

Educational Endowments and their Role in Investing in Human Capital - Islamic Economic Assessment

Ibrahim Obadah — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0100

This study addresses educational endowments and their role in investing in human capital from the perspective of Islamic economics, which is considered a branch of development avenues that enhances genuine development opportunities in society. The study poses a primary question: What is the Islamic economic estimation of educational endowments, and to what extent do they contribute to investing in human capital? The study found that endowments for education have contributed to improving and raising the educational level. Endowment institutions have financed the infrastructure of educational and pedagogical endowment institutions, thus reducing the financial burdens on the state budget. Educational endowments have significant effects in economic, social, and educational fields, contributing and continuing to contribute to raising the level of the Islamic society in those areas. The study recommends the necessity of developing the legislative and legal foundations regulating endowment institutions and management methods of educational endowments to align with current developments and the spirit of the times.

The Problem of Abridgments in Sahih al-Bukhari: A critical Methodological Study

Maessa Rawabdeh — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0100

This study aims to shed light on a methodological issue at its core, and scientific in its findings, namely the abridgment of the book: "Sahih al-Bukhari". The study revealed the reality of the problematic nature of the abridgments of the comprehensive Sahih collection, with these problems ranging from methodological to scientific. It presented the reasons that led to these problems, notably the lack of a comprehensive view of the book, and the reduction of the structural unity upon which "Sahih al-Bukhari" is based. This demonstrated the strength of the structure of the book "Sahih" and the extent of cohesion among its elements, and their interconnection. It also highlighted the most prominent problems resulting from the abridgment of "Sahih al-Bukhari", including the loss of critical and jurisprudential purposes, followed by the deletion of chains of narration, biographies, and historical accounts.
