Loss rules and their contemporary applications by Dr. Mohammed bin Abdullah Boutiban

When the messages discussing (matters of profit) in Islamic law became widespread, and the scholars studied them extensively and paid attention to them, with a relative neglect of (matters of loss) and their contemporary applications, which are no less important, especially with the continuous losses in this era, and the great ignorance of their rulings and the consequences they entail, the researcher chose the topic of this research; so that Muslims may be clear about their matter, particularly with the development of financial transactions and the increasing factors of risk and loss. The researcher defined the concept of loss, clarifying its types and causes, establishing it with a Shariah-based foundation, along with mentioning some of its contemporary applications. He also concluded with a number of jurisprudential rules and principles established by scholars related to this field, applying the Shariah rulings to them.
