The concept of compensation for service-related errors in Islamic law and jurisprudence, and the rules for assessing it
This study addresses a topic of significant importance: the procedures for claiming compensation for administrative errors, specifically the compensation owed for harm caused to others. Compensation for administrative errors serves as evidence of the rule of law and the application of the principle of legality. In the first section, we will define the concept of compensation in both Sharia and statutory law. This will be divided into two subsections: the first will discuss the linguistic meaning of compensation, while the second will examine its technical/legal definition. The second section will explore the types of compensation, divided into two subsections: the first on in-kind compensation, and the second on pecuniary compensation. The third section will address the principles for assessing compensation, beginning with the first subsection on contractual compensation, followed by a second subsection examining the judge’s authority in determining compensation.
