dc.description.abstractHauzi is deemed as a principle that gives title to a holder of property for long period enjoying its benefit in his capacity as the owner. It is among the lawful means of acquiring ownership of property recognised by Islamic law. This research work An Appraisal of the doctrine of Hauzi in Islamic law is designed to examine the practice of Hauzi in the light of Maliki School of law in Sharia Courts. Some individual(s) are not fully aware of Hauzi. Also it seems that there are some conflicting crises among judges in application of Hauzi. Two methodologies were used in conducting the research doctrinal and empirical. The result obtained indicates that, the doctrine of Hauzi is being practiced in the light of Maliki School of law in the Sharia Courts. Also the level of awareness of Hauzi among individual(s) is very insignificant. Similarly, the conflicting crises among judges are; the defendant wont explains the cause of his/her possession, while the claimant presents evidences and witnesses before the court. It is recommended that, individual(s) should attend Sharia court's session as audience to enable them ascertain the practice of Maliki law particularly on Hauzi. It is also recommended that, judges should carefully examine the facts of a situation in any case in order to find out the truth of it, thus enable them strictly use the applicable law in their decision. It is further recommended that, Ulama' legal practitioners academicians students of law etc. should significantly contribute in developing awareness of legal matters among individual(s) in their various locality through discourse, public lectures, programs on legal matters in Medias etc. so that conflict on landed property may drastically be reduced.en_US
