1.1 Background of the Study
Socially, it is understood that the nature of human being as a social animal indicates that man doesn‟t live in isolation but interact and interrelate with others in his daily life regarding all aspects of human endeavors. And it is natural that once a group of people live together, there may be difference of opinion, thought, taste, temperament, inclination and behavior among individuals which differences may lead to dispute, conflict or misunderstanding among people. When these negative attitudes arose, the Sharia does not leave this kind of disgruntle state of conflict unchecked but provided a means of its resolution. The mechanisms for the resolution of disputes envisaged under the Sharia may take the form of litigation before a court of law (i.e., al-qada‟u) or its amicable settlement (i.e., As-Sulh). Each of these two mechanisms has its own peculiarities.
