What is the legal and Sharia basis for ratifying a settlement between the litigants before the court?

The court, in its judgment ratifying the settlement between the litigants, relies on the legitimacy and permissibility of settlement under Sharia, in accordance with the Islamic legal texts that encourage it, and the consensus of Islamic jurists (Ijma'). It also relies on the applicable regulations that permit litigants to request the documentation of their agreed-upon settlement and the issuance of an official deed to that effect, provided that the settlement is in conformity with the provisions of Sharia and the regulations.
