The purposes of financial transactions according to Ibn Daqiq al-Eid - an applied analytical study

Abstract

  If money is the basis of life, then the true Sharia paid special attention to it and called for its preservation, whether it exists or not. Experts have deduced from the extrapolation of the texts of Sharia that major purposes are directed to financial transactions with the aim of circulation, distribution, preservation and justice in them, and the most prominent of them is Imam Ibn Daqiq al-Eid. The researcher tried to classify these intentional signs and build on them according to the legislation led by the principal experts, highlighting the philosophy of legislation in financial transactions with this great Imam. The research reached a set of results, the most important of which is that the scholars, including Ibn Daqiq al-Eid, through their extrapolation of the texts of Sharia, reached to derive major directions for financial transactions, which they called the purposes, and their combination: popularity, clarity, double preservation, proof, and justice in them. And that the purpose of justice in financial transactions is an important tributary to achieving the rest of the other purposes.
