CWE-FSH-03 Compassion, Welfare & Environment Family & Social Harmony CORE Excellence v2.9.7

Community mediation service for disputes

Assesses the establishment of a formal mediation service to uphold community well-being. By offering a just (ʿAdl) and reconciliatory (Sulḥ) path to resolve conflicts, the organization actively prevents discord, strengthens the social fabric, and reduces strain on external legal systems. Crucially, this service prioritizes safety and justice, ensuring that reconciliation is never pursued at the expense of protecting vulnerable individuals from harm (Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah).
