Abstract
ASSESSMENT OF ASYLUM REFUGEE RIGHT IN TURKEY UNDER THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ISLAMIC LAW
Since the outset of the conflict in March 2011, increasing number of refugees from Syria has sought asylum in Turkey. From the outset of the conflict, The Republic of Turkey, with its historical, cultural and neighborhood ties, followed an open door policy to refugees. Turkey has been the most generous country in providing all type of humanitarian aid to Syrian citizens affected by this tragedy whether under temporary protection in Turkey or inside Syrian borders. In this study we provide information about the legal status and registration status of the Syrian refugees in the context of Islamic law. Right of asylum is located in the texts quran and the hadith. Right of asylum is discussed as a basic human right in the Islamic law. Migration that happened in the history of Islam, forms the historical background of the asylum.
