المال في الإسلام

المال في الإسلام

Al-Bahi holds that wealth is necessary to human life and that the drive to acquire it is innate, so banning private ownership is unnatural (p. 27). Wealth also carries temptation, so the believer guards the means of getting and growing it (p. 28). God is the true owner and the human a steward (pp. 69-70); spending for God's cause means the public interest (pp. 37-38). Zakat, public spending, inheritance division and the prohibition of riba are, in his account, the means that stop wealth piling up (p. 138). This is the author's own reading, presented as his view.
