1. Lity and existing social norms of the time. Islam did not aim to introduce an entirely
novel code of law but rather to refine and redirect existing customs within the framework

jurisprudence reflects this accommodation, where customs that align with Islamic values
and do not contradict the Sharia are considered³.
