Abstract (EN)

In the religion of Islam, individuals are granted the right to private property, but some restrictions have been imposed on the saving of property under ownership. Furthermore, the state was not allowed to interfere with personal properties other than Zakah or to market. There is no limitation on the accumulation of the goods, but it is forbidden to leave the goods idle and perpetual distribution among a certain group. Financial responsibilities are not limited to Zakah but can be expanded to cover almost all surplus goods in order to fulfil the essential requirements. In addition to financial conditions such as Zakah and Nafaka, there are extra financial requirements as freeing captivities/prisoners, feeding hungry, fulfilling the diet loaded on family of murderer (Akıle) and fulfilling rights of passengers, guests and neighbors in needed time. In this way, it was requested to provide the minimum foundations of all members of the society in Islam. Therefore, it cannot be seen to accumulate surplus properties and put them in idle until these needs are provided and the necessities are eliminated. Even in cases of social abundance and prosperity, extreme luxury and wealth are not allowed. In this regard, eating more than need, saving and keeping the properties and mounts beyond the need, using precious metals such as gold and silver as pots and pans; gold as jewelry and silk as cloth for men are prohibited. Key words: Property, Ownership, Need, Zakah, Kenz, İddihar, Wealth, Prosperity, Wasting.
