A Comparative Study of the Proscribed Persons in the Light of Alfiq-ul-Islami and Fatawa-Alamgeri

Abstract

The main aim of this manuscript is to pinpoint the people in a society whom property or money should not be handed over until they acquire prudence and maturity. Kitab-ul-Hajar is an important topic in every book of Fiqh discussing the meaning, kinds and philosophy of Hajar. This manuscript discusses in detail all those people whom are prohibited from any kind of utilization of money under certain conditions. These proscribed people are like minors, morons, madmen, ignorant doctors, slaves and silly persons etc. This article discusses how the Shariah fixes some limitations in this regard and various provisions in the light of two main books of Fiqh such as Al-Fiq-ul-Islami and Fatwa-Alamgeri. It is basically a comparative study of these proscribed people. Numerous books of Fiqh and seerah will be consulted to validate this topic in this manuscript.
