Abstract

This article delves into the topic of "Laws of 'Zarar' in Islamic Jurisprudence," exploring the concept of harm ('Zarar') and its implications within Islamic legal frameworks. Harm, understood as causing damage or injury to another person, is strictly prohibited in Islam and deemed a haram act. This prohibition is rooted in the fundamental principle of respecting the sanctity of every human being's life and dignity. Islam, as a religion of peace, condemns harm for its potential to disrupt societal harmony and instigate conflict. Central to Islamic teachings is the notion of respecting the rights of others, and causing harm is seen as a violation of these rights. The article discusses various examples of prohibited actions, including killing, injuring, damaging property, and undermining someone's self-esteem. However, exceptions exist to these prohibitions, such as acts of self-defense or intervening to prevent harm to others. Through its examination of the laws concerning harm, the article underscores Islam's merciful and peaceful nature, emphasizing the importance of upholding the rights of individuals and refraining from actions that cause harm.
