Abstract

This text explores the significance of money within the Islamic legal framework. It highlights how Islamic law addresses financial matters across various chapters, including worship (through zakat) and personal status (through inheritance rulings). Referencing Sheikh Shaltut's perspective, the text emphasizes Islam's practical approach, aiming to balance spiritual and material well-being. Drawing upon the Quran's description of money as a "source of livelihood" and "an ornament of life," the text underscores its crucial role in achieving a purposeful existence.
