Intention To Create Legal Relations In Islamic Law Of Contracts
Keywords:
Law, Contract, Intention, Legal, RelationsAbstract
This paper addresses the issue of the intention to create legal relations in Islamic contract law, whether it recognises it or otherwise. The difference in terminologies and the unconsolidated nature of Islamic law in line with English law created a negative impression that is incorrect in the eyes of Islamic law experts. Due to the lack of comprehensive literature on this point, this study was seen as needed. The research methodology chosen for this paper was integrated content analysis. The literature on the lexical and legal aspects of the topic was reviewed, which included the law of contracts, usul fiqh, and the maxims of fiqh. It was found that the inward intent of contracting parties is significant, which sometimes is inferred from express words and statements of parties and no evidence to the contrary is entertained except in specific areas of law. Where the inner intention of the parties is doubtful, literal and logical reasonings are recognised to determine the parties' intent in a contract.
