To abide by the terms of a contract is the sole objective for contracting. Yet, it is understandable that along the course of this commitment, unforeseen circumstances may arise and get in the way of a full commitment. Such are coercion and the very description of the contract abidance, concerning the contracted terms and its period. Fiqh in Islam has provided a detailed account on the former and the Law has delineated the latter. The study has identified a powerful role for coercion on abidance. The study also shed light on a number of factors surrounding this force of abidance including its types and where it crosses lines with exceptional coercion forces and regular ones. The study has arrived at a number of intriguing findings concerning the level and types of abidance forces. A key finding in this study is that abidance descriptions are found to be associated with certain factors that lead to commitment and factors that lead to breaking out of contracts due to inability to commit to the terms and conditions of the contract. In light of these findings, a number of recommendations are put forward as part of the concluding chapter.
