الحرية في الأموال

الحرية في الأموال

Muhammad al-Khidr Husayn treats freedom of property under four heads: acquiring wealth, its middle course, enjoying it, and aggression against it (p. 62). He holds that the law urges work for a living by any lawful trade that harms no one, and that commerce is blamed only when it distracts from duties (pp. 62-63). He counts crafts and trades among communal obligations and divides people into four classes by their roles: rulers, those who spread knowledge, traders, and craftsmen and farmers (p. 64). He then begins to set out how property passes by contract (p. 65).
