Family mediation in Islamic law

Family mediation in Islamic law involves a neutral third party helping spouses or family members resolve disputes amicably, guided by principles of justice, compassion, and mutual respect rooted in Islamic teachings. The mediator facilitates open communication, encourages understanding, and seeks agreements aligned with Islamic values, avoiding litigation. This process emphasizes reconciliation, maintaining family bonds, and adhering to Islamic ethical standards, often preventing conflicts from escalating to legal courts. It aims to foster harmony, fairness, and the spiritual and social well-being of the family, consistent with Islamic principles of justice and mercy.
