Abstract

Created as a social being, human beings communicate and interact with other people in society. Their economic activities are also part of this communication.Transactions such as shopping and lending are also an element of the economy. Troughout history, legal systems have laid down rules regulating these activities,and imposed orders and prohibitions. Studies comparing Islamic and Jewish legal systems, which originated from revelation and still applied by their followers, are less than those made in terms of the history of religions. The aim of this study is to contribute to the comperative studies in the field of law by examining the similar and differente aspects of both legal systems in terms of contractual contract. It has been determined that there are more similarities in the provisions of Islamic law and Jewish law regarding the issue of lending. The fact that the sources of these two legal systems are the same is the most natural reason for similarity.The differences are due to the interpretations of the Jews that changed religious rules in order to ensure harmony between the law and the life conditions that changed over time.
