This article argues that the traditional principles of contract law and negligence have limitations which prevent some persons injured by defective products from relying on them as a means of redress. This research paper analyses the application of strict product liability in England through enactment of the Consumer Protection Act, 1987. The background and need for the application of strict product liability in England is highlighted in this regard. It has also looked into the application of strict product liability in Islamic law. Moreover, in order to check the status of English product liability law in the perspective of Shariah, all the key notions of English strict product liability regime that are contained in the Consumer Protection Act, 1987, have been analyzed in the light of Islamic law. The paper poses important questions such as: what is meant by the notion of strict product liability under English law? Which particular act was enacted through which the EU Directive on product liability was adopted in England? What is meant by ‘product’ in CPA and Islamic law? What does defect mean and what are its various kinds under CPA? How Islamic law deals with the notion of defect and its various kinds? Who are the potential defendants under the CPA, 1987 and what is the case in Islamic law? How to establish the link between the harm caused and defective product in English law and Islamic law? What is the time limitation under CPA, 1987 for product liability cases and what is the case in Islamic law? These and many other important questions have been tackled. Moreover, the article has attempted to test compatibility of the English product liability regime with the injunctions of Islamic law and the feasibility of the adoption of the same in Islamic jurisdictions has also been checked.
