Abstract

Islamic law emphasizes on justice and fairness in resolving disputes. The legal fraternity has developed a procedural law to successfully execute the fairness since Islamic Law is comprehensive and applicable at any point in time. The fairness should be exercised regardless of new development in law and technology. Although electronic evidence carries different names from conventional evidence but its characteristics are similar. They are also very fragile and could be altered easily, and the issue of authenticity is therefore very important for electronic evidence. The paper therefore, will look at the nature as well admissibility of electronic evidence under Islamic Law because electronic media such as computers, digital cameras, sound recording devices and other types of recorded evidence have made significant development into the western legal system.
