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]
