Tijara

Tijara is an Arabic word that translates to "trade," "commerce," or "business." It encompasses the activities involved in buying, selling, or exchanging goods and services with the aim of generating profit. The concept of Tijara is significant in Islamic economics and jurisprudence (Fiqh), where it is subject to specific ethical and legal guidelines. These guidelines aim to ensure fairness, transparency, and the avoidance of exploitation and unethical practices, such as riba (interest) and gharar (excessive uncertainty). The term can be used broadly to refer to any commercial enterprise or undertaking.
