Abstract
The study delves into the contribution of Khiyar Al-Shart (Cooling-off Period) in customer protection, fostering a comparison with Emirati civil transactional law. The study findings indicate that Islamic Shari’ah and Its rulings, including Khiyar Al-Shart (Cooling-off Period), holds a primary place in terms of legislating the laws of customer protection. Islamic Shari’ah covers the validity of Khiyar Al-Shart (Cooling-off Period), its duration, and in particular its impact on customer protection. Khiyar Al-Shart (Cooling-off Period) gives the customer a chance to think and consult the experts before the contract becomes binding. Through its inductive, descriptive and comparative methodology, the study reveals that Khiyar Al-Shart is legal and its period is open on condition that the period is known to both parties of the contract
