Kamaliyyat


A distinct category of maslaha or human needs that refers to things and activities that refines and embellish people’s lives. Tahsiniyyat don’t primarily alleviate or relieve hardships and basis needs, but rather add elegance to life. Examples of kamaliyyat elements include ornamentation, recreational activities, useful hobbies, decent enjoyments, etc. Such elements must not involve any types of unlawful luxuries, exaggerated lavishness and squandering. Shari’a treats unlawful luxuries or extravagances as prohibitions. Therefore, Islam gives precedence to satisfaction of necessities over conveniences and embellishments.

Kamaliyyat (also tahsiniyyat) is an Arabic term (كماليات) that denotes “refinements”, “embellishments”, or “luxuries”.
