JTW-JME-10 Justice, Trade & Work Justice & Market Ethics CORE Excellence v2.9.7

Accuracy of weights/measures

Evaluating the organization's commitment to upholding ʿAdl (justice), Mīzān (balance), and Wafāʾ (fulfillment), this standard focuses on precise weights, measures, and time-keeping. It ensures fair dealings with all stakeholders by preventing fraud, ensuring contractual accuracy in services, and building the trust (Amānah) essential to Islamic market ethics. Rooted in the strict prohibition of Taṭfīf (shortchanging), this exactitude protects Ḥifẓ al-Māl (preservation of wealth) within the Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah (objectives of Islamic law), framing commercial accuracy as a profound moral obligation.
