Abstract

This research investigates the responsibility that falls upon children

and mad people as a result of committing a delict or a tort in Islamic Fiqih.

It opens with a brief chapter devoted to the explanation of what is meant

by a child and a mad person. The remaining chapters cover the following

topics of the research: attitude of Islam towards the lawful responsibility

that falls upon children and mad people, what these people should do when

committing a murder or an injury against another person, what should be

done when a child or a mad person shares the Mukallaf (a legally responsible

person under islamic law) in committing a delict, should one who got mad

after committing a delict be punished and what is the attitude of Islamic

shari’a towards children’s and mad people’s aggression upon others’ property

whether usurping or damaging it.
