Social Impact Bond (SIB) is a funding mechanism for social projects whereby the payment for the projects is anchored on meeting the outcome metrics, otherwise the investors risk losing their money. The mechanism emerged since 2010 in the United Kingdom and has quickly spread to other parts of the world. In the past, there has not been any popular fatwā on this mechanism from a Sharīʿah point of view.  Therefore, this article will examine the funding and payment arrangement and then conduct takyif fiqhi (jurisprudential adaptation) to ascertain the degree of Sharīʿah compliance and determine the most appropriate Islamic contract most suitable under the arrangement. The article adopts qualitative method of research by making in-depth analysis of Islamic contracts including the primary and secondary sources of Islamic law. It also relied on literature on SIB from conventional point of view and internet materials. Major findings of the research show that SIB, whilst its pay-for-success mechanism does not contain ribā, it contains excessive gharar. The excessive gharar, however, was found ineffective to void al-jaʿālah-based SIB and hibah li thawāb which is the second contract similar to SIB. This is because of hājah and element of gratuity respectively.

 Responding to demands from a group of parties to formalize Islamic law, the Counter Legal Draft Compilation of Islamic Law (CLD KHI) team has compiled a pluralist, democratic, humanist, and gender fair Islamic law text.This manuscript reaps pros and cons during society because it is considered not in line with the values contained in the Qur’an and hadith.Because of the discrepancy between the opinions of most jurists in general with the contents of the CLD-KHI, of course, it will result in the absence of legal certainty in the future. The object of this research is only focused on the concept of walimujbir. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, data is collected openly according to what is obtained from primary and secondary sources. The results of this study indicate that the presence of a guardian in a marriage is positioned as a pillar of Marriage. In contrast, in the CLD-KHI formulation, a guardian is not required in a marriage. The formulation of Islamic family law reform offered by CLD-KHI is based solely on public logic, local wisdom, and on several perspectives such as democracy, pluralism, human rights, justice, gender equality, and western ideology. In matters of marriage, especially regarding guardians of mujbir, the ideas of CLD-KHI are different and even contradict the common understanding of principles of Islamic teachings and practices.

As one of the critical elements of democracy, a functional political party plays major roles in the political process of a state. One such role is the provision of a platform by which its members emerge as elected officials in government. A critical dimension of Nigeria’s democratic experience in the Fourth Republic is the issue of conflict of interests among party oligarchies and party members elected to political office. This article attempts to interrogate the causal factors of this development by analysing the triggers of divergences within political parties whose members supposedly share similar ideological leanings. Specifically, the article considers the causes and effects of the issues thrown up in the aftermath of the emergence processes of the principal officers in the two chambers of parliament of the eighth National Assembly. This it does in the context of the normative interpretation of “party supremacy”.  As samples, we isolate three cases, after which the qualitative method is employed to elaborate on the data gathered from secondary sources.

Telecommunication service providers are known to provide various benefits for airtime packages. Different packages have been introduced in order to satisfy consumer needs. The nexus between service providers and consumers are guided by terms and conditions. Under Islamic law, any condition stipulated by the parties, which involves riba is rejected ab inito and renders the transaction voidable. Therefore, this article seeks to examine the Airtime Credit Service by service providers such as extra time package known as ‘borrow me credit’ in order to determine whether it is a Shariah-compliant transaction or otherwise. The study adopts doctrinal legal research by using primary and secondary sources of Islamic law such as Qur’an, Sunnah. The study also relies on textbook, journals, and service providers’ websites. The study reveals that the use of the word ‘borrow’ in the package has triggered polemical discourse among the Islamic financial jurists. The study reveals that, although the word ‘borrow’ is used, the intention of service providers is to sell the airtime on credit sale. The article clarifies the juristic discourse of the sale based on Islamic law of contract. It  recommends some clarifications on the form and structure of the sale and concludes that it is allowed for Muslims to buy airtime through the package.

Malaysia is a Muslim country consisting of thirteen States and Federal Territories (Kuala Lumpur, Labuan and Putrajaya). In principal, the official madhhab that is practised  in Malaysia is Shafi’i Madhhab and this becomes common to all Malaysians even though it is not officially registered in the identification card of a Malaysian. Accordingly, in many religious affairs and practices, the society is based upon the principles or fiqh al-Shafi’i. Nevertheless, views of other Sunni madhhab is freely practiced by all Malaysians. Furthermore, the codification on Islamic law in the State Enactments in all States in Malaysia is based upon four Sunni schools of law. It follows that the Islamic law in Malaysia is not purely based on the Shafi’i madhhab and in many occasions adopted the view of Hanafi school depending on the adaptability of the opinion to the society. This article deals with the application of fiqh al-Hanafi under the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984. Analysis will extend to the practices in the Malaysian Syariah Court when dealing with cases involving Muslims and the most appropriate view of the madhhab that is to be adopted by the Syariah Court in order to solve a particular issue. The study employs the qualitative method of study where it only involves library research. It is believed that this research will be beneficial to all who seek knowledge and useful to all researchers, academicians, legal practitioners, students and scholars.
