What is the basic principle of a Sharia contract regarding the object of the transaction?

The object of the transaction in a Sharia contract must be something permissible according to Islamic teachings. It must be beneficial and not harm the user of the object, adhering to the principle of 'Toyib', meaning it should be good and ethically sound.

What does 'antarodin minkum' refer to in a Sharia contract?

'Antarodin minkum' means mutual consent or willingness between the parties involved in the Sharia contract. It is crucial that both parties willingly agree to the terms of the contract, ensuring that there is no coercion or deceit.

What is the role of 'mandate' in a Sharia contract?

In a Sharia contract, the mandate refers to the duty and responsibility of each party to fulfill their rights and obligations as specified in the contract. This ensures that both parties act according to the terms agreed upon, fulfilling their responsibilities in a lawful manner.

How do Sharia and positive law differ in terms of contract freedom?

Both Sharia law and positive law (secular law) allow freedom in contracts, but Sharia law has a principle of al-hurriyyah, emphasizing that contracts are allowed unless explicitly prohibited by Islamic law. In contrast, positive law allows individuals to freely make contracts within the boundaries set by secular laws, as long as they do not violate any legal restrictions.

What are the legal requirements for a valid agreement in Sharia and positive law?

In both Sharia law and positive law, a valid agreement requires mutual consent between the parties, competence of the parties involved, and clarity about the terms and object of the contract. However, while Sharia law includes the condition of 'Ijab Qobul' (offer and acceptance), positive law additionally emphasizes compliance with secular legal frameworks and prohibitions.
