Objectives: This study aims to collect and analyze judicial jurisprudence issued by Jordanian Sharia courts regarding the executive detention of guarantors in financial enforcement cases. It seeks to identify the legal and Sharia-based reasoning behind each ruling and highlight the judicial preferences that emerge in the absence of explicit legislative texts on the subject.
Method: The research adopts an inductive approach to analyze rulings issued by Sharia courts, focusing on both legal and Sharia-based evidence. It also employs analytical and documentary methods to systematically examine and record the relevant legal texts and precedents.
Results: The study concludes that discrepancies in judicial rulings stem from differences in legal and Sharia sources, variations in interpreting the relevant texts, and the differing methods applied in their implementation.
Conclusion: The study ends by proposing an amendment to Article (5) of the Executive Sharia Law, which defines the jurisdiction of the Head of the Sharia Enforcement Department, by adding Paragraph (C) stating: "C. The provisions of Paragraph (A) of this Article shall apply to the guarantor." It also recommends amending Article (5) of the Civil Executive Law, which defines the jurisdiction of the Head of the Civil Enforcement Department, by adding Paragraph (G) stating: "G. The provisions of Paragraph (A) of this Article shall apply to the guarantor."
