Abstract
The principle of "no harm, no harm" is one of the major principles of jurisprudence, and the most influential in Islamic rulings. Abu Dawood said: “Jurisprudence revolves around five hadiths, including the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): ‘There should be neither harm nor reciprocating harm’. This rule contains an innumerable amount of jurisprudence, and perhaps it includes half of it, as rulings are either for bringing benefits or for repelling harm, so it includes repelling the five necessities, which are: preserving religion, life, lineage, wealth, and honour”. The study consisted of an introduction which contains defined the rule and its importance, a second section on the evidence for the rule, its conditions, and the rules branching off from it, and a third section on the applications of the rule and the exceptions to the rule.
And a conclusion that includes the most important findings of the researcher.
And may God’s prayers and peace be upon our master Muhammad, his family, and his companions.
