2 2 ISLAMIC FINANCE TERMINOLOGIES A أعدادية Adadiyyah (pl. adadiyyat) Countables i.e. things which are measured in individual units rather than by volume, weight, or length. An example of `adadiyyat are eggs which are customarily purchased in unit, (half dozen, dozen, etc.) rather than by weight. عدل Adl Adl is a general term which conveys the meanings of justice, equity and fairness. In rahn transactions, the person whom both the pledger and the one for whom the pledge is being made agree upon the custodian of the collateral. عفو Afw Afw is a Qur'anic term meaning surplus wealth. عامل Amil One who performs a task, an agent.

Ariyyah) The term refers to palm trees which have been set aside by their owner for the needy, for a fixed period of time such as a year, so that they may feed themselves with its fruit. The case of araya is mentioned in the Hadeeth as an exception to the Prophetic prohibition of the muzabanah sale. That is, while he had forbade the people of Madinah from selling fruit on the tree for dried fruit--ostensibly because of the gharar inherent in such a transaction--the Prophet provided a dispensation in the case of `araya, allowing the poor who possessed dried dates to sell them to tree owners for access to the fruit on certain fruit trees for a year. أرض Ard Land

Often the client is offered the option of paying in installments. This is essentially identical to the murabahah financing used throughout the Islamic banking sector. بيعتان في بيع Bayatan fi bay Two sales in one, a type of transaction which was explicitly prohibited by the Prophet. The meaning of the expression "two sales in one" is explained by the fuqaha' in various ways. Also called "safaqatan fi safaqah. بيت المال Bayt al-mal The treasury of the Muslim Community; historically, the bayt al-mal as an institution was developed by the early Caliphs but which soon fell into disrepair.

A debt is said to be "established in someone's dhimmah" if he is in debt to someone else. The Fuqaha' also speak about a person's dhimmah "being occupied" and "being cleared." The concept of dhimmah may be likened to a virtual liability container which it may be said that every responsible person has. These containers, it may be imagined, are constantly being filled with rights and obligations--such as the obligation to repay someone. دينار Dinar A gold coin used by Muslims throughout Islamic history. The standard mass of the dinar which is referred to in Fiqh is mithqal (app grams.) دية Diyah The compensation paid by one who commits manslaughter or unintentional homicide to the relatives of the deceased.

9 9 ISLAMIC FINANCE TERMINOLOGIES فقير Faqir A poor person (pl. fuqara) فسخ Faskh Undoing, dissolving, cancellation. Faskh is a term used by the classical Fuqaha to refer to the dissolution of a contract or agreement. It has been described as the cancellation of a contract, such that affairs return to the state in which they were before the closing of the contract, without any addition or subtraction. Many of the classical fuqaha' apply the term faskh to instances in which a previously valid (sahih) contract is cancelled voluntarily by the contractual parties--such as in iqalah, khiyar al-`ayb (option to return in case of a defect) and khiyar al-shart (stipulated option of return)--and use the term infisakh for cancellations which occur outside of the will of each of the contractual parties such as the cancellation of a sale contract when the sale item is destroyed, before the seller can hand it over to the purchaser or the dissolution of certain partnerships upon the death of one of the participating parties. فتو یو Fatwa (pl. fatawa) A formal response issued by an expert Faqih, called a mufti in response to a question. فضولى Fuduli A party is described as "fuduli" whenever it transacts (e. g. sells, rents, etc.) with someone else's property without the permission of the Shariah (e. g. wakalah). Such is the case when a party does not own the property with which it transacts and is not the wakil (authorized representative) or wali (guardian) of the true owner. For example, if a person were to negotiate and "close" a deal with a buyer in which he sold some machinery without the owner of the machinery having made him his wakeel (authorized representative) the "seller" would be described as fuduli. فرض Fard Obligatory, an act which is obligatory on Muslims فرض العين Fard Ain An action, which is obligatory on every Muslim فاسد Fasid Vitiated; irregular; unenforceable; used in the sense of voidable in the positive law, but a contract is voidable at the option of the parties, while the fasid contract can become valid only if the offending condition is removed.

G غرر Gharar A quality said to exist in a contractual transaction when an essential element of the transaction is indeterminate. The sale of an item which the seller does not possess for example is a gharar sale. Contractual transactions which contain gharar are batil i. e. void. Avoiding gharar in transactions is one of the essential principles of Islamic finance. غارم Gharim (pl. gharimun) A debtor who does not possess the funds with which to repay his debt. According to the Hanifi jurists, a gharim is one who whose funds, after repayment of his debt, would not equal the nisab. The Shafi`i and Maliki jurists divide the gharimun into two types: 1) those whose debts were incurred in their own benefit and 2) those whose debts were incurred benefiting others. The gharimun are one of the eight groups mentioned in the Qur an as legitimate recipients of zakah funds. غصب Ghasb The wrongful appropriation of property by force. غارم Gharim A person in debt; debtor unable to pay the debt from his wealth. غصب Ghasb Usurpation; abduction.

The habal al-habalah transaction was prohibited by the Prophet, according to several well-known reports, ostensibly because of the extreme uncertainty in the essence of the contract, given that neither of the contractual parties can be even remotely certain that a pregnant she-camel would successfully give birth to a another she-camel, which would subsequently mature and become pregnant itself. حديث Hadith (pl. ahadith) A successively transmitted report of an utterance, deed, affirmation or characteristic of the Prophet Muhammad.

The result is that C now owes B and A is free from the burden of repayment. حول Hawl The term hawl is used by the jurists to describe the amount of time which must pass before a Muslim in possession of funds equaling or exceeding the exemption limit (nisab) must pay Zakah on his wealth. In the case of cash, gold and silver it is one Islamic year i.e. a lunar year of app. 354 days.

12 12 ISLAMIC FINANCE TERMINOLOGIES Hibah Gift هبة حسبة Hisbah Hisbah is a term used by the classical fuqaha', among them Ibn Taymiyyah, to describe the function of regulating the market place which is to be carried out by the Islamic authority (often called the muhtasib in this sense). Hisbah includes taking whatever steps may be needed in order to maintain a fair and orderly market place. Historically, various Islamic rulers have undertaken the duty of hisbah by supervising activities ranging from the inspection of eateries for sanitary conditions to the investigation of fraud. The basis of hisbah is the Prophet's customary inspection of the marketplace of Madinah. حكم Hukm (pl. ahkam) In Fiqh, the Shariah ruling (e.g. obligatory, recommendable, neutral, reprehensible, or forbidden) associated with any action. حصاة Husah Pebbles, a type of sale practiced by the Arabs in the Jahiliyyah and prohibited by the Messenger of Allah in which the sale was determined by the casting of pebbles. Classical commentators mention three forms of the husahsale: (1) the seller would say to the would-be purchaser, "when I throw the pebbles in my hand, then the deal is closed and binding on you," (2) the seller would say to the would-purchaser, "I shall sell you the commodity which your pebbles hit" or (3) in a land sale, the seller would say, "I shall sell you the plot of land whose dimensions are defined by the extent to which you throw this pebble." The husah sale--like the habal al-habalah sale (see entry) was ostensibly prohibited because of the gharar which characterized the contract which governed it. شركة العمل Harikat amal Partnership in which participation by the partners is based on labor or skill, but the partnership has to be of the type inan or mufdwadah. حيلة Heelah Legal device حم یى Hima Keeping people away from a land which was earlier treated as usable by all so as to restrict all outward benefits such as herbage, water and hunting to state use. حزم Hizim Binding; binding contract.
