<em>Islamic</em> <em>Law</em> <em>A</em> <em>C</em><em>ase</em> <em>Study</em> <em>of</em> <em>the</em> <em>Practice</em> <em>and</em> <em>Procedure</em> <em>of</em> <em>the</em> <em>Katsina</em> <em>State</em> <em>Sharia</em> <em>Courts”has</em> <em>examined</em> <em>theconcept</em> <em>of</em> <em>Sulh</em> <em>as</em> <em>a</em> <em>type</em> <em>of</em> <em>dispute</em> <em>resolution</em> <em>in</em> <em>which</em> <em>a</em> <em>third</em> <em>party</em> <em>intervenes</em> <em>to</em> <em>help</em> <em>disputing</em> <em>parties</em> <em>reach</em> <em>a</em> <em>mutually</em> <em>satisfactory</em> <em>agreement</em> <em>and</em> <em>the</em> <em>practice</em> <em>thereby</em> <em>in</em> <em>Katsina</em> <em>State</em> <em>Sharia</em> <em>Courts</em> <em>(KSSC).</em> <em>The</em> <em>research</em> <em>work</em> <em>is</em> <em>predicated</em> <em>upon</em> <em>the</em> <em>problem</em> <em>of</em> <em>the</em> <em>volume</em> <em>of</em> <em>cases</em> <em>coming</em> <em>before</em> <em>the</em> <em>KSSC</em> <em>and</em> <em>the</em> <em>latent</em> <em>absence</em> <em>of</em> <em>formal</em> <em>adoption</em> <em>of</em> <em>the</em> <em>rules</em> <em>and</em> <em>principles</em> <em>of</em> <em>Islamic</em> <em>law</em> <em>relating</em> <em>to</em> <em>amicable</em> <em>settlement</em> <em>of</em> <em>disputes</em> <em>within</em> <em>the</em> <em>judicial</em> <em>setting</em> <em>in</em> <em>Katsina</em> <em>State.</em> <em>The</em> <em>main</em> <em>objective</em> <em>of</em> <em>this</em> <em>work</em> <em>therefore,</em> <em>is</em> <em>to</em> <em>offer</em> <em>a</em> <em>highlight</em> <em>on</em> <em>the</em> <em>concept</em> <em>of</em> <em>Sulh</em> <em>as</em> <em>the</em> <em>Islamic</em> <em>perspective</em> <em>of</em> <em>Alternative</em> <em>Dispute</em> <em>Resolution</em> <em>(ADR).</em> <em>To</em> <em>achieve</em> <em>this,</em> <em>doctrinal</em> <em>and</em> <em>empirical</em> <em>methods</em> <em>of</em> <em>legal</em> <em>research</em> <em>was</em> <em>adopted.</em> <em>It</em> <em>is</em> <em>argued</em> <em>that</em> <em>Islamic</em> <em>law</em> <em>contemplate</em> <em>amicable</em> <em>resolution</em> <em>of</em> <em>disputes</em> <em>some</em> <em>1400</em> <em>years</em> <em>ago</em> <em>right</em> <em>from</em> <em>the</em> <em>7</em><em>t</em><em>h</em> <em>C</em><em>entury</em> <em>A.D.</em> <em>in</em> <em>advance</em> <em>of</em> <em>any</em> <em>W</em><em>e</em><em>stern</em> <em>move</em> <em>on</em> <em>the</em> <em>subject</em> <em>and</em> <em>in</em> <em>view</em> <em>of</em> <em>this,</em> <em>it</em> <em>was</em> <em>observed</em> <em>that,</em> <em>in</em> <em>its</em> <em>Islamic</em> <em>law</em> <em>conception,</em> <em>Sulh</em> <em>is</em> <em>one</em> <em>of</em> <em>the</em> <em>characteristic</em> <em>features</em> <em>of</em> <em>administration</em> <em>of</em> <em>justice</em> <em>in</em> <em>Islamic</em> <em>law.</em> <em>The</em> <em>findings</em> <em>of</em> <em>the</em> <em>study</em> <em>was</em> <em>that</em> <em>some</em> <em>of</em> <em>the</em> <em>rules</em> <em>of</em> <em>practice</em> <em>and</em> <em>procedure</em> <em>related</em> <em>to</em> <em>the</em> <em>concept</em> <em>of</em> <em>Sulh</em> <em>in</em> <em>KSSC</em> <em>are</em> <em>to</em> <em>a</em> <em>large</em> <em>extent,</em> <em>reminiscent</em> <em>of</em> <em>English</em> <em>style</em> <em>of</em> <em>mediation</em> <em>rules</em> <em>than</em> <em>that</em> <em>of</em> <em>Islamic</em> <em>law</em> <em>per</em> <em>se.</em> <em>Additionally,</em> <em>it</em> <em>was</em> <em>found</em> <em>that</em> <em>much</em> <em>of</em> <em>the</em> <em>current</em> <em>challenges</em> <em>and</em> <em>legal</em> <em>problems</em> <em>associated</em> <em>with</em> <em>the</em> <em>practice</em> <em>of</em> <em>Sulh</em> <em>before</em> <em>the</em> <em>KSSC</em> <em>due</em> <em>to</em> <em>the</em> <em>neglect</em> <em>by</em> <em>the</em> <em>government</em> <em>over</em> <em>the</em> <em>years</em> <em>of</em> <em>affording</em> <em>to</em> <em>Muslims</em> <em>a</em> <em>religiously</em> <em>based</em> <em>amicable</em> <em>dispute</em> <em>resolution</em> <em>as</em> <em>per</em> <em>the</em> <em>provisions</em> <em>of</em> <em>Islamic</em> <em>law.</em> <em>The</em> <em>study</em> <em>concludes</em> <em>with</em> <em>recommendations</em> <em>that</em> <em>Sulhu</em> <em>should</em> <em>be</em> <em>formally</em> <em>recognized</em> <em>as</em> <em>an</em> <em>amicable</em> <em>dispute</em> <em>resolution</em> <em>mechanism</em> <em>alongside</em> <em>adjudication</em> <em>in</em> <em>the</em> <em>KSSC</em> <em>it</em> <em>being</em> <em>more</em> <em>advantageous</em> <em>to</em> <em>Muslims</em> <em>than</em> <em>the</em> <em>Western</em> <em>conception</em> <em>of</em> <em>ADR.</em> <em>It</em> <em>is</em> <em>further</em> <em>recommended</em> <em>that</em> <em>it</em> <em>is</em> <em>expedient</em> <em>that</em> <em>the</em> <em>practice</em> <em>of</em> <em>Sulh</em> <em>shall</em> <em>be</em> <em>extended</em> <em>to</em> <em>the</em> <em>sphere</em> <em>of</em> <em>Islamic</em> <em>criminal</em> <em>justice</em> <em>and</em> <em>in</em> <em>line</em> <em>with</em> <em>this,</em> <em>the</em> <em>Sharia</em> <em>Criminal</em> <em>Code</em> <em>and</em> <em>the</em> <em>Criminal</em> <em>Procedure</em> <em>Code</em> <em>of</em> <em>Katsina</em> <em>State</em> <em>shall</em> <em>be</em> <em>amended</em> <em>urgently</em> <em>to</em> <em>reflect</em> <em>the</em> <em>teachings</em> <em>of</em> <em>Islamic</em> <em>law</em> <em>on</em> <em>the</em> <em>practice</em> <em>of</em> <em>Sulhu</em> <em>in</em> <em>criminal</em> <em>cases.</em> <em>It</em> <em>was</em> <em>also</em> <em>recommended</em> <em>that</em> <em>there</em> <em>shall</em> <em>be</em> <em>accessibility</em> <em>by</em> <em>all</em> <em>persons</em> <em>to</em> <em>the</em> <em>Sulhu-Door</em> <em>facility</em> <em>of</em> <em>the</em> <em>KTMDCH</em> <em>instead</em> <em>of</em> <em>being</em> <em>centralized</em> <em>in</em> <em>Katsina</em> <em>metropolis</em> <em>alone.It</em> <em>is</em> <em>also</em> <em>recommended</em> <em>that</em> <em>theSharia</em> <em>Court</em> <em>Rules</em> <em>and</em> <em>the</em> <em>Sulhu-Door</em> <em>Rules</em> <em>of</em> <em>Katsina</em> <em>State</em> <em>should</em> <em>be</em> <em>amended</em> <em>to</em> <em>additionally</em> <em>reflect</em> <em>the</em> <em>rules</em> <em>and</em> <em>principles</em> <em>of</em> <em>the</em> <em>Shariaor</em> <em>where</em> <em>possible,</em> <em>their</em> <em>replacement</em> <em>with</em> <em>a</em> <em>purely</em> <em>Sharia-based</em> <em>rules</em> <em>of</em> <em>procedure</em> <em>for</em> <em>the</em> <em>Sharia</em> <em>Court</em> <em>and</em> <em>the</em> <em>Sulhu</em> <em>Door</em> <em>respectively.</em></p><div><p><strong>CHAPTER</strong> <strong>ONE</strong></p><p><strong>G</strong><strong>ENERAL</strong> <strong>INTRODUCTION</strong></p><p><strong>1.1</strong> <strong>Background</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Study</strong></p><p>Socially, it is understood that the nature of human being as a social animal indicates that</p><p>man doesn‟t live in isolation but interact and interrelate with others in his daily life</p><p>regarding all aspects of human endeavors. And it is natural that once a group of people</p><p>live together, there may be difference of opinion, thought, taste, temperament, inclination</p><p>and behavior among individuals which differences may lead to dispute, conflict or</p><p>misunderstanding among people. When these negative attitudes arose, the Sharia does not</p><p>leave this kind of disgruntle state of conflict unchecked but provided a means of its</p><p>resolution. The mechanisms for the resolution of disputes envisaged under the Sharia</p><p>may take the form of litigation before a court of law (i.e., <em>al-qada</em>‟<em>u</em>) or its amicable</p><p>settlement (i.e., <em>As-Sulh</em>). Each of these two mechanisms has its own peculiarities.</p><p>As there are many fields of human endeavors, so do disputes or conflicts arose and</p><p>permeate these fields – be it social, economic, political, etc., and the <em>Shariah</em> had</p><p>recognized and institutionalized <em>Sulh</em> (amicable settlement) as a dispute resolution</p><p>mechanism in addition to litigation so as to restore peace and tranquility among the</p><p>Muslim <em>Ummah</em>.</p><p>Katsina State being one of the 36 States of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has inherited</p><p>the deeply rooted application of <em>Shariah</em> in its judicial system from the then Sokoto</p><p>Caliphate.1 Katsina State has also in the year 2000 desired the formal reintroduction or</p><p>1 Suleiman, I. <em>A</em> <em>Rev</em><em>olution</em> <em>i</em><em>n</em> <em>History</em> <em>The</em> <em>Ji</em><em>h</em><em>ad</em> <em>of</em> <em>U</em><em>sm</em><em>an</em> <em>Dan</em> <em>F</em><em>odio</em>, Mansell, London (1986), p. 26; Suleiman, I. <em>The</em> <em>Islamic</em> <em>State</em> <em>and</em> <em>t</em><em>he</em> <em>C</em><em>h</em><em>allenge</em> <em>o</em><em>f</em> <em>History</em> <em>I</em><em>deals,</em> <em>P</em><em>olicies</em> <em>and</em></p><p>14</p></div><div><p>application of Sharia in its administration of justice.2 To this end, Sharia Courts were</p><p>established and conferred with jurisdiction by virtue of the <em>Sharia</em> <em>Courts</em> <em>Law</em>3 to</p></div><p><b>GET THE COMPLETE PROJECT»</b></p><p>Do you need help?

Thesis Overview
<p>
</p><div><p> <strong>INTRODUCTION</strong></p><p><strong>1.1</strong> <strong>Background</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Study</strong></p><p>Socially, it is understood that the nature of human being as a social animal indicates that</p><p>man doesn‟t live in isolation but interact and interrelate with others in his daily life</p><p>regarding all aspects of human endeavors. And it is natural that once a group of people</p><p>live together, there may be difference of opinion, thought, taste, temperament, inclination</p><p>and behavior among individuals which differences may lead to dispute, conflict or</p><p>misunderstanding among people. When these negative attitudes arose, the Sharia does not</p><p>leave this kind of disgruntle state of conflict unchecked but provided a means of its</p><p>resolution. The mechanisms for the resolution of disputes envisaged under the Sharia</p><p>may take the form of litigation before a court of law (i.e., <em>al-qada</em>‟<em>u</em>) or its amicable</p><p>settlement (i.e., <em>As-Sulh</em>). Each of these two mechanisms has its own peculiarities.</p><p>As there are many fields of human endeavors, so do disputes or conflicts arose and</p><p>permeate these fields – be it social, economic, political, etc., and the <em>Shariah</em> had</p><p>recognized and institutionalized <em>Sulh</em> (amicable settlement) as a dispute resolution</p><p>mechanism in addition to litigation so as to restore peace and tranquility among the</p><p>Muslim <em>Ummah</em>.</p><p>Katsina State being one of the 36 States of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has inherited</p><p>the deeply rooted application of <em>Shariah</em> in its judicial system from the then Sokoto</p><p>Caliphate.1 Katsina State has also in the year 2000 desired the formal reintroduction or</p><p>1 Suleiman, I. <em>A</em> <em>Rev</em><em>olution</em> <em>i</em><em>n</em> <em>History:</em> <em>The</em> <em>Ji</em><em>h</em><em>ad</em> <em>of</em> <em>U</em><em>sm</em><em>an</em> <em>Dan</em> <em>F</em><em>odio</em>, Mansell, London (1986), p. 26; Suleiman, I. <em>The</em> <em>Islamic</em> <em>State</em> <em>and</em> <em>t</em><em>he</em> <em>C</em><em>h</em><em>allenge</em> <em>o</em><em>f</em> <em>History:</em> <em>I</em><em>deals,</em> <em>P</em><em>olicies</em> <em>and</em></p><p>14</p></div><div><p>application of Sharia in its administration of justice.2 To this end, Sharia Courts were</p><p>established and conferred with jurisdiction by virtue of the <em>Sharia</em> <em>Courts</em> <em>Law</em>3 to</p></div>
