1. Urf is an Arabic Islamic term
referring to the custom, or 'knowledge', of a given society, leading to change in the fiqh فقه (Islamic jurisprudence).

`Urf is a source of Shariah rulings where there aren't explicit primary texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah specifying the ruling. `Urf can also specify something generally established in the primary texts.

In some countries such as Egypt, marriage, the Urfi way, means to get married without official papers issued by the state (Zawag Urfi:زواج عرفي). This type of marriage is valid and recognized. (See: common law marriage)


From Wikipedia.

I love the way the Arabic copies! :rofl:
