The law of procedure in Islam, as in other legal systems, depends on the type of rights involved, that is, the procedure and standards of evidence change when the right of God is involved as comapred to the rights of the individuals. The procedure may be compeltely different when the right of the state is affected. While studying these topics, it is important to note that the earlier jurists were usually discussing the procedure that was invoked in the first two types of rights. The determination of the procedure when the right of the state was involved was left to the state. Please see Outlines of Islamic Jurisprudence for the time being.

    The Institute plans to provide translations from the works of the classical jurists for the following topics:

1. The qadi and his qualifications

2. The office of the muhtasib and the inspector of the markets

3. Civil procedure

4. Evidence

5. Criminal procedure
