What is the Sharia and statutory basis for proving reconciliation between disputing parties before the judiciary?

The proof of reconciliation between disputing parties is based on the principle of the permissibility of *sulh* (reconciliation) in Islamic Sharia, provided it does not render lawful what is unlawful or render unlawful what is lawful. It is also based on statutory provisions that allow parties to record their reconciliation agreement in the case minutes and for a judicial instrument to be issued accordingly, provided that the agreement does not contravene the provisions of Sharia or public order.
