  • Descrição: The doctrine of ḥurriyyat al-tā'aqud or freedom of contract is a point of disagreement among fiqhi scholars. Nevertheless, in reality, the present trend in Islamic mu'āmalāt shows that freedom of contract is a very important doctrine for Muslims that allows them room to utilize their creativity and wisdom to fulfill their obligations. This trend is clearly evident with the emergence of many types of new contracts — either totally brand new contracts without any traces of the classical fiqh literature or modified forms of original contract. Among the new contracts that have emerged recently is the muqāwalah. This paper, thus, seeks to discuss the concept of the muqāwalah contract as a clear manifestation of the doctrine of freedom of contract in Islamic mu'āmalāt. In doing so, the writer only refers to fiqh treatises and literature that are widely circulated amongst the four Sunnī schools of Islamic law. This is not to deny the importance of the contributions of the Shī'ī schools in the development of Islamic law. Nevertheless, the underlining principles of mu'āmlāt in the main Shī'ī school of law namely the Ja'fariyyah or the Imāmiyyah can hardly be differentiated from Sunnī schools of law. This paper argues that the contract of muqãwalah offers a good and viable approach to solve the problems that occurs in the construction industry and is indeed a clear proof of the dynamism of Islamic mu'āmalāt.
