Характеристика мирного договора в религиозно-правовых разработках ранних арабо-мусульманских ученых
Peace Treaty Essentials in Religious and Legal Studies of the Early Arab Muslim Scholars

Summary/Abstract: The development and formation of the Arab-Muslim diplomatic system were studied. In particular, the features of drawing up peace treaties and agreements and their religious and legal support were described in detail. It was suggested that the early Arab-Muslim scholars used different methods, approaches, and attitudes to peace treaty creation. However, this fact does not exclude the penetration of elements borrowed from other developed civilizations of that era into the Arab environment. Notably, the diplomatic system of the Arabs in the early period of Islam developed quite dynamically. Muslim scientists formulated the universal rules for behavior of the ruler with the enemy both during the war and peace negotiations. A number of demands were made to the representative of Muslims and to the structure of the Treaty itself. However, despite the good level of religious and legal training of early Muslim scholars, they were unable to reach consensus on many issues. Thus, the works of Muslim scholars differ both in the methods and approaches to the problem and in the final conclusions.
