Qada (Islamic term)

Qada (Islamic term)

The Arabic word "qada" (قُضِي) means literally "carrying out or fulfilling". In Islamic jurisprudence it refers to fulfilling or completing those duties that one may have missed due to some reason or other. [cite web| url=http://www.as-sidq.org/glossary.html | title=Islamic Glossary | work=As-Sidq Montreal ] . It can also mean "qadee", a court judgement or the art of adjudication [cite web| url=http://www.islaminme.com/articles/it_03.htm | title=Islamic terms | work=Islam in me ] . A "qadee" is binding and enforceable, unlike a fatwa, which is merely a legal opinion. Issued by a qadi (judge) in response to a specific case and circumstances. The "qadi" may request a "fatwa" to help determine the legal outcome of a specific case but is not bound to follow it. The decision is based on recognized legal precedent.
