Endowment System and Objectives of Shariah for Muhammad Hassan Badr al-Din

Throughout Islamic history, endowment institutions have played an important and pioneering role in the social and economic reality, as they are a comprehensive mutual support system complementing the role of the pre-modern political system. Although this role has somewhat declined in our contemporary reality, the jurisprudential and practical heritage accumulated by models of Islamic endowments and their experiences remains a vital heritage in the lives of Muslims today. This book sparks a discussion about the social and economic roles performed by endowments and their relationship with the objectives of Islamic Sharia, and presents various doctrinal and jurisprudential approaches to regulating the jurisprudence of endowment and endowment work, as well as its different types and models. It also proposes a set of ideas that may revive the effectiveness of endowment institutions as a system to ensure social solidarity. The subject of this book intersects with the project of "Nuhud Center for Studies and Research" as an intellectual platform affiliated with the "Nuhud Endowment for Development Studies."
