Investigating the Resilience of Islamic Law: An Analysis of Family, Criminal, and Commercial Law

Abstract

This exploratory research explores the resilience of Islamic law, focusing on how it holds up against change in family, criminal, and business law. It advances knowledge of how Islamic law has developed and how adaptable or resistant it is to change in modern settings. Because of Islamic law roots in religious scriptures and traditions, Islamic law has sometimes been portrayed as resistant to change. This study investigates Islamic law's adaptability in family, criminal, and business law in modern times. This will be achieved by Locating case studies demonstrating examples of the Islamic legal system's resistance to change or its capacity to adapt and analyze social changes. The three cases examined make clear the endurance of Islamic law surrounding Western civilization, primarily concerning family law, criminal law, and commercial law. These cases illustrate the capacity of Islamic law to play a role in legally based decisions and peacefully exist alongside Western laws while managing complex matters such as matrimony identification, gender discrimination, and commercial applications. What allows Islamic law to remain strong is its capability to adjust and acquire acknowledgement amid varied legal systems, thereby taking part in the continuing discourse and progression of legal regulations across Western nations.
