Economic Distribution in Islam

Distribution of wealth remains one of the central questions in economic justice. Economic Distribution in Islam analyzes mechanisms through which Islamic law seeks to balance individual ownership with social equity.

About the Book

Economic Distribution in Islam explores structured mechanisms governing allocation of wealth within Islamic legal theory. The book examines obligations such as charity, inheritance distribution, and prohibition of exploitative accumulation. It argues that economic justice requires both productive freedom and redistributive safeguards. Structured discussion analyzes how zakat, voluntary charity, and endowment institutions contribute to social welfare. The text contrasts Islamic distribution principles with purely market-driven allocation models. Emphasis is placed on moral accountability and prevention of extreme inequality. Historical examples demonstrate how early Islamic societies institutionalized welfare mechanisms. By integrating jurisprudential reasoning with economic analysis, the book clarifies that distribution policies are rooted in ethical commitments rather than ideological abstraction.
