A claimant filed a case against a defendant before the court. He requested the court to order the defendant to pay an amount of money. He said that the claimant had bought gold from him and failed to pay its value.

The court ruled that the contract signed between the two parties should be dismissed and that the defendant should return the gold.

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court repealed the appealed ruling and referred the case to the elementary court.

The court said that the case documents revealed that the contract signed between the two parties was in violation of Islamic Law.

The court ruled that the contract should be dismissed.

The court of appeal upheld the ruling.
