The brief analysis of the European Law and Islamic Law on e-commerce transactions does not reveal any particular difference due to the different level of the source of law in the two systems. The peculiarities of Islamic law do not significantly influence the way used to protect the consumer in these particular kinds of contracts. Even more, the need to protect the consumer – considered as a weak human being in this particular situation – can be inferred from the interpretation of the sayings held in the Qur’an or set forth in the Sunnah. The European pattern is perhaps more detailed, but it could appear prima facie excessively fragmented and not easily comprehensible and – furthermore – accessible for a consumer not used to deal with legal issues.
