The research aims to discover the attributes of domestic courtyard and how they comply with Islamic teaching and enhance Islamic practices. The methodology employed is both the qualitative and the quantitative approaches that involve data collection and analysis.

Literature review focuses on domestic courtyard and Islamic teachings pertaining to domestic living. Opinion survey of courtyard house dwellers in Oman was undertaken. Research finding from literature review reveals among the attributes of domestic courtyard is introverted orientation (privacy), space organizer, transitory space, climatic moderator and multi-functional space. These attributes are also observed in the inventory-case study of Omani traditional courtyard houses.
