Summary:

This is the first work in the English language to deal specifically
with the subjects of equity and fairness in Islamic law. Prof M H
Kamali takes these concepts back to their origin in the Qur'an, the
sayings of the Prophet Muhammad and the era of the Companions of the
Prophet in the first two centuries of Islam. This is followed by
discussions of equity as a basis for the formulation of Islamic law
and a comparison between it and other concepts essential for law
making such as general consensus, analogical reasoning and
considerations of public interest. Part Two of Equity and Fairness in
Islam is an attempt to apply the concepts of equity and fairness to
certain issues of contemporary concern and especially to commercial
transactions. The issues raised here are related to Islamic banking,
sale transactions, charitable endowments, pensions funds and other
long-term saving accounts. Equity and Fairness in Islam can be read
in conjunction with M H Kamali's titles especially Islamic Commercial
Law.
