Zusammenfassung:One of the maqÉÎid al-SharÊÑah (objectives of the SharÊÑah) with regard to wealth is ensuring that it circulates smoothly in society. Among the means that the SharÊÑah 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. The contracts validated in the Qur’Én and Sunnah are not exhaustive, and new transactions can be introduced as long as they do not contradict the principles of the SharÊÑah. The underlying principle is that of permissibility (ibÉÍah). Likewise, the right to stipulate conditions (Íurriyyat al-ishtirÉÏ) in a contract is also acknowledged in line with the freedom of entering into contracts (Íurriyyat al-taÑÉqud). Those facilities are acknowledged as a means of realizing maÎlaÍah (benefit) and preventing mafsadah (harm) to the contracting parties.
