■ According to Shari’ah
A. Legal contracts: They are accredited by Shariah, with entailed juristic effects.
B. Illegal contracts: They are the ones which Islamic shariah prohibited and did

description in relation to a contract, making it illegal. Such as contracts that
have usury, gambling, cheat or fraud.
Features of financial contracts in Islam:

The original state of financial contracts and their conditions is that everything is permissible except when there
is clear Shariah evidence of prohibition as Allah says: "Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest”.
Shariah is valid for all times, and cannot become outdated. Scholars have to exert their thinking and do
research especially the field of economics is constantly evolving.
2. Regulated by ethical and faithful values:
a. A Muslim is supposed to be honest and sincere, and should not wrong an employee or cheat anyone whether
young or old, should be fair with all people.
b. Cannot accept any unlawful contract or condition or perjure to attain any gain in his contracts or dealings
c. All earnings must be legitimate.

conditions and fulfilment them.
