General Welfare and Strategies of Islamic Law in its Realization

"General welfare", which means continuous benefit and in moderation of people from divine blessings in a legitimate and reasonable way, has always been considered by human and divine schools and the decision-making of the rulers of societies. Islamic shari'a, as a divine school, has also considered public welfare in the form of concepts such as justice, helping the needy, the deprived and the needy. With a deeper look at the purposes of Shar'a al-Hakim, it is clear that in the case of religious rulings, a great deal of attention has been paid to the general welfare.

Accordingly, the present study, through descriptive-analytical method, seeks to examine the general welfare in Islamic shari'a at the beginning and finally, through social jurisprudence and in order to achieve general welfare, analyze religious rulings.

Based on the studies conducted, Shar'a Hakim has tried to reduce the class gap, poverty alleviation, mental and psychological peace in Islamic society and finally the realization of general welfare by disseminating rulings such as zakat, khums, charity, loans, endowments and alimony.
