This Hadith of our Prophet ‫ صلى هللا عليه وسّلم‬tells us we should not be the cause of any harm and nor should it be reciprocated. It
is not just physically harming people but includes every form of harm.

•Wasiyyah (will) – if a person has some money and he wants to give it to someone who is no related to him. He is
allowed but he must not exceed the limits (one third). If he exceeds the limits, he will cause harm to the immediate
inheritors.
•Marriage and relationship between husband and wife. As stated in Surah Al-Baqarah Ayah 231 – someone
divorces his wife and then he reconciles with her, but his intention in reconciliation is so that he can cause her harm. ·
•Traveling or being away from the family for a long time and without a good reason – this can cause harm to the
wife and family.
•Selling and trading – when someone is in great need of something, the seller (who knows this) sells him at a very
high price – this is not allowed.
•Someone who wants to buy is not good at bargaining, and because of this the seller sells at a very high price, more
than it is worth.
•Burning rubbish on your property on a windy day. This will cause harm to your neighbors. It may cause harm to
the environment and the people in the neighboring countries. This kind of harm should be brought to an end.
•Digging a well that will cause damage to the well of one’s neighbor. If one needs to dig a well, he should position it
a little further away from his neighbor's.
•Behaving on one’s property in a way that will harm his neighbors.
•Causing bad smell to spread from one’s property to his neighbors.

 Dealing among people would result in harm, mostly
Steps unintentional. There would be a party that caused the harm
and party that sustained it. It cannot be fixed through
causing others damage as a way of taking revenge, The
feeling of revenge should not prevail. Therefore the law
should assess and remove damage.

“Shariah is Mercy for the “The Muslim is polite and “Laws prevent harm and
Worlds” Smart” fix it if it occurs”

Islamic Shariah is based on easing A Muslim must consider his UAE draws several legislations to
things for mankind and achieving options before making a choice. If prevent harm to residents and
happiness for people in this world his decision involves causing harm, citizens
and in the hereafter he must consider his options well
