Abstract

The research aims to study the concept and judgment of mortgaging goods shipped via a bill of lading, by analysing the legal texts regarding mortgaging by documents in Yemeni law and examining it in accordance with the provisions of Islamic legal related to mortgage. The research concludes that mortgaging goods through a sea bill of lading is considered a possessory mortgage for goods transported by sea, which are absent from the parties to the mortgage contract.
