Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines harmonization between Islamic Law, Civil Law, and United Nations Conventions on child labour elimination. Many contemporary Muslim jurists strongly maintain their position that civil laws or common laws are un-Islamic while the majority of man-made law advocates consider Islamic fiqh unsuitable for the contemporary life of Muslims and new issues in the world. The harmonization of Islamic Law rulings, UN Convention and civil law on contemporary issues where there is no textual evidence, opinion of classical jurists, or fatawa might help in these circumstances. Certain strict limitations and principles laid down by Muslim jurists are maintained and followed. For instance, if the law or conventions on the elimination of child labour are in line with the Qur'an and Hadith as well not contravening the principles of the Shari'ah, then the provisions are permissible. So, any United Nations conventions or Common law on the elimination of child labour or child rights in the affected Muslim countries that oppose or are contrary to Islamic law principles are to be strictly disallowed and discarded or otherwise should be amended and implemented. These findings will apply both qualitative and quantitative methods in the analysis while suggestions would be made in the best interests of the child.
