The answer

The texts of the indicate the permissibility of compensation for damages, including the Almighty's saying: "Then whoever has transgressed against you, transgress against him in like manner as he transgressed against you," and the Almighty's saying: "And if you punish, then punish with the like of that with which you were punished." It is permissible to demand compensation for actual damages and to claim the right of dhalalah (brokerage fee) if it is a legitimate brokerage. The Sharia judge resolves matters of dispute, and it is advised to maintain ties of kinship and to involve people of goodwill to resolve disputes.
