What do you mean by ‘Fiqh’ under Muslim Law?

Law
The word “fiqh” literally means “intelligence”. In Islam, fiqh is the name given to the whole science of jurisprudence because it implies the exercise of intelligence in deciding a point of law in the absence of a binding command from the Koran. A faqih is thus a person skilled in law, that is, a jurist, Islam believes that there is a difference between knowledge and fiqh, because the latter requires both intelligence and independent judgment.A man may be learned, but to be a faqih, he must possess the quality of independent judgment, that is, the capacity to differentiate between the “correct” or the binding rule and of law and the “weak” or the unsupported opinions of classical authors.When Islamic lawyers define the term “fiqh”, they normally stress the moral aspect…

What is the Nature and Essentials of a Muslim Marriage?

Marriage
According to the Muhammadan law, marriage (nikah) is a civil contract, the object whereof is to legalise sexual intercourse and the procreation of children. This statement is, however, sometimes so overstressed, that the real nature of marriage is obscured, and it is forgotten that it has other important aspects as well, both social and religious.One would do well to remember that marriage is recognised in Islam as the basis of society. It is no doubt a contract, but it is also a sacred covenant. The Prophet once delivered a sermon on marriage, and to this day, it is repeated (with a few variations) at Muslim marriages, as it contains a lot of practical advice and many noble sentiments.As observed by Sir Shah Muhammad Sulaiman, C.J. (in Anis Begam v. Muhammad…

This will allow the sedimentation of erythrocytes. After a specific time, generally 1 hr., the level of red cell is noted. The distance travelled by erythrocytes in 1 hr. is called as Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR).Methods:There are two different methods of determination of ESR:1. Westergren Method ADVERTISEMENTS: 2. Wintrobe Method Westergren Method: Requirements:1. Westergren Pipette2. Westergren Stand ADVERTISEMENTS: 3.

3 Main Formalities for the Claim of Pre-emption under Muslim Law

Law
Muslim law prescribes certain formalities for the claim of pre-emption. No person is entitled to the right of pre-emption unless he observes these formalities strictly and at proper time. The right of pre-emption is a weak right because its operation hits directly against the very concept of ownership and freedom of contract. In Mohd. Noor vs. Mohd. Ibrahim, the Supreme Court held that availability of this weak or archaic right has to be construed strictly. Image Source: easydivorcehouston.comMuslim law of pre-emption is a law of technicalities and the availability of the right depends upon the full and complete observance of formalities. If the formalities are in any way incomplete or defective, the right of pre-emption is not available to the pre-emptor. The formalities for the claim of this right consist…

Decision Making
So, then, which is the best leadership style? The simple answer is that there is no single “best” leadership style. It depends upon the situation. image source: donnafishter.comStyles of leadership authority are best displayed on a continuum, from the autocratic to democratic. Very seldom will “autocratic” style be effective in health care settings. ADVERTISEMENTS: In the “consultative” style, the manager presents ideas and attempt to sell the subordinates the decision.

Essay on the Guardianship of Minor under Muslim Law in India

Law
Guardianship of the minor’s person means an overall supervision of the minor’s personality. It means care and welfare of the child including the liability to maintain it. It is more than simply the custody of the child upto a certain age. Under Muslim law, ‘guardianship of the minor’s person’ is called Wilayat-e-nafs and the ‘custody of the minor’ is called Hizanat.They are sometimes taken to mean the same thing.
