Cybercrime and the Law: An Islamic View
Journal Title: Webology - Year 2007, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
E-crime today presents one of the major challenges to law enforcement. Information technology is facing waves of laws guarding the interest of people using the Web technology. These laws were derived from the common laws and legislations applied in general crimes. With over one billion Muslims in this world, several calls were raised in the Islamic countries to establish a law suitable to handle computer crimes which matches the Islamic Shar'iah law. In this research, we have analyzed the 'Adellah' (الأدلة) (Shar'iah Evidences of Quran, Hadith and Imams sayings) to verify the outlook of Islam in computer crime. We propose an introductory computer crime law from an Islamic point of view which we believe will initiate further research in this important field.
