MAQĀṢID AL-SHARĪʿAH AND STIPULATION OF CONDITIONS (SHURŪṬ) IN CONTRACTS

One of the maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah (objectives of the Sharīʿah) with regard to wealth is ensuring that it circulates smoothly in society. Among the means that the Sharīʿah uses to achieve that objective is its strong encouragement of undertaking necessary types of commercial activities and its legislation of various types of contracts in order to ensure orderly transfers of wealth on the basis of mutual consent.
