Foundations And Pillars Of The Redistribution Of Wealth In Islamic Jurisprudence

Abstract

In the theory of distribution and in general, the redistribution of wealth is an important element in the theory of distribution in general, as it represents the aspect that takes into account the practical application of the theory of distribution, and the possible imbalances that can affect the social construction in terms of cohesion or harmony. Despite the importance of this theory in economic thought, it did not give its right to study, barely find in the textbooks of economic thought sufficient statement to justify its existence in any economic system. I have tried in this brief research to highlight the justification of the Islamic view; by addressing various texts of the book and the Prophet's Sunnah, and aspects of the practical application of some adult caliphs in how to deal with public wealth and the mechanism of distribution. The research revealed the originality of this theory in the Islamic discourse and its necessity in its economic system.
