Can anyone act as an Islamic Arbitrator?
As a general rule, the Islamic Arbitrator must not be a minor, subject to interdiction or deprived of his civil rights. The arbitrators need not be of a specific sex or nationality or religion unless otherwise provided by agreement between the parties or by provision of law. An Islamic arbitrator should accept the mission entrusted to him in writing and should disclose any circumstances that may cast doubts with respect to his impartiality and independence.
