Al-Mal Ghayr al-Mutaqawwim


According to the Hanafi school of thought (mazhab), a category of mal that has no value from the perspective of Islamic shari’a. All items in this category cannot be as subject matters in lawful transactions such as sale (ba’i), rent (ijarah), pledge (rahn), and gift (hibah). It is impermissible that Muslims own or transfer such items in whatever form of transaction (whether through commutative contracts or noncommutative contracts). Examples of al-mal ghayr al-mutaqawwim include pork, alcohol, riba-based loans, conventional bonds, etc.

Al-mal ghayr al-mutaqawwim is Arabic (مال غير متقوم، المال غير المتقوم) for legally worthless property (legally valueless items).
