Stages of the Contract Session (Majlis al-'Aqd) in Islamic Law of Obligations
Abstract
This article examines the contract session (majlis al-'aqd), one of the conditions for the formation (in‘iqad) of a contract, while concentrating on the Ḥanafī school. The contract session, which ensures that declarations of intent establish a valid, binding relationship, is typically addressed in contemporary definitions emphasizing this function. In contrast, its impact on the contract's validity has often been neglected. The article aims to explore the effect of the contract session on the validity of a contract within the context of the conditions and the defect (fasād) theory proposed by the Ḥanafī scholars in exchange transactions. The research adopts a document analysis method. The findings indicate that the contract session is not limited to the process between the offer (ījāb) and acceptance (qabūl); instead, due to certain conditions that must be fulfilled during the session to ensure the contract's validity, the period from the acceptance until the separation of the parties is also included in the scope of the contract session. Based on this, the article concludes that definitions of the contract session should also highlight the function of the session to provide a more comprehensive understanding.
