The answer

The fundamental principle for a Muslim is to resort to Sharia courts. Material compensation for moral damages is a novel issue that was not discussed by earlier فقهاء (jurists). Contemporary jurists have differed on its ruling, with two opinions. The stronger opinion is prohibition, due to the lack of precision in defining moral damage and the absence of a Sharia-compliant criterion for it.
