Compensation for Material and Moral Damage in Islamic Jurisprudence and Bruneian Law

This comprehensive legal and religious study explores the critical topic of compensation for damages, a field that continues to evolve and require deep scholarly investigation. The book bridges the gap between Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) and the legal framework of Brunei Darussalam, specifically focusing on the protection of the "Five Necessities" (Maqasid al-Sharia) from aggression and harm. 

While scholars universally agree on the obligation of compensation for material damages—whether related to persons or property—the assessment of moral and psychological damage remains a subject of scholarly debate due to the difficulty of quantification. This work argues that the public interest necessitates that no harm goes uncompensated, serving as a deterrent against injustice and crime.
