Capacity of Preferential Jurisprudence Rulings in the Face of Poverty

In coping with the problem of poverty and its solutions, divine religions and human schools have each provided ways for humankind. In the face of this phenomenon, Islam has also identified mechanisms. A glimpse at the jurisprudential rulings indicates that two sets of laws and regulations have been put in place to limit and eliminate poverty: One category is mandatory and obligatory (such as khums and zakat) and the second is the preferential and charitable (Mustahab) one and includes institutions such as donation, charity, waqf (endowment), and loan. The purpose of many principles of jurisprudence is the purpose of its mandatory rulings. Therefore, considering preferential rulings along with the mandatory ones can lead to the simultaneous realization of Shari'ah's goal of making these rulings. Thus, it seems that using the enormous capacity of jurisprudential preferential rulings related to poverty and enforcing them, along with other mandatory and obligatory rulings, can lead to poverty elimination. Analyzing and examining this issue is the subject of this paper and accordingly - after examining the concept of poverty and the criteria for its diagnosis - the issue of donation and charity is dealt with and the final part of the paper is devoted to the study of waqf and loan.
