Islamic Injunctions on the Institutionalization of Aqilah: A Case Study of Vicarious Liability for Payment of Diyat

Abstract

    Islam gives detailed injunctions not only for individuals but also for collectivity, and the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan makes it obligatory on State to enable Muslims to live their individual and a collective life in accordance with the Islamic teachings. An important aspect of the Islamic way of life is that individuals and collectivity provide help and support to each other. This aspect is particularly exemplified by the institution of 'Aqilah', which was established for sharing the burden of the payment of Diyat. Thus, it became an essential element of Muslim society, and it gave rise to the notion of vicarious liability. The present paper explores Islamic Injunctions on this issue and proposes the establishment of the institution of Aqilah for better enforcement of the law of Diyat in Pakistan.
