Fiqh of Business

Islamic commercial law for people who actually work: sale, debt, partnership, ribā, employment contracts, and the products Australian banks will offer you this year. What is halal, what is not, and — more useful — why.

Who this is for

If you work, trade, employ, borrow or invest — that is, if you have money moving in your life — and you want to know where the lines are before you cross one.

Who this is not for

Anyone wanting a classical text read line by line: that is Dalīl aṭ-Ṭālib. Anyone who needs credit toward the diploma — a term class is the honest way to try before you commit, not a shortcut through it.

What an evening looks like.

Same night every week, two hours, done by 9pm. The stream runs alongside the room.

7:00 – 7:50pm The ruling and its evidence, from the text
7:50 – 8:00pm Break
8:00 – 8:40pm How it lands in Australia — products, contracts, cases
8:40 – 9:00pm Questions, from the room and the chat

Sheikh Dr Mohammad Alabdulkarim

He sat as a judge in Saudi Arabia, hearing the ordinary run of commercial disputes, then took a Masters in Commonwealth law in Australia. He has ruled on the transactions this course is about — in both legal worlds.

Questions people actually ask.

Do I need Arabic? −

No. The texts are in Arabic but the teaching is in English, and every passage is read and translated in the room.

What if I miss a week? −

Every session is recorded. The recording is yours for the rest of the term.

Can I join after it starts? −

Within the first two weeks, yes — the recordings catch you up. After that, wait for the next term.
