Batil

Batil (Arabic: باطل‎) is an Arabic word meaning falsehood,[1] and can be used to describe a nullified or invalid act or contract according to the sharia.[2][3]

In contract law, the opposite of batil is sahih.[4] Batil can be distinguished from fasid ("defective") in that a fasid contract might go through completion, whereas a batil contract would not.[5]
