The Nature of Management Fiqh (Fiqh al-Idārah)

‘Management fiqh’ as one of the branches of fiqh is of distinguished position. It deals with the idea of producing and deepening necessary literature for creating systems in the realms of Islamic management and of the way in which it can be enriched. Management fiqh seeks to provide the necessary frameworks for Islamic management and discussions on management as a discipline drawing upon a fiqhi approach as well as a method based on personal judgment (ijtihÁd) in order to arrive at certain scientific and methodological answers, being formulated in a comprehensive system, thus paving the ground for making speculations and creating systems based on fiqh in the realm of management from the Islamic perspective.
In this article, an attempt has been made to provide records on the necessary prerequisites for gaining access to fiqhi views on the Islamic administrative system, to demarcate administrative fiqh among other philosophies or branches of fiqh and, last but not least, to explain the implications of creating appropriate literature and scientific propositions about theorization and administrative system creating.
