مسئولیت دولت اسلامی در قبال حفظ اموال رعایا )شهروندان (

Abstract (English)

Property and wealth are among the most significant factors contributing to human welfare and development. Islamic law places special emphasis on the protection and preservation of people's property and strongly safeguards legitimate ownership rights. Despite these principles, many Islamic societies continue to face challenges such as theft, usurpation, financial corruption, and violations of citizens' property rights. This raises a fundamental question: What responsibilities and obligations does the Islamic state bear regarding the protection of citizens' property, and what Islamic legal mechanisms are available to ensure their financial security? The present study aims to examine the responsibilities of the Islamic state in protecting and safeguarding the property of its citizens and to clarify its duties in ensuring financial security based on Islamic traditions and jurisprudential teachings. This research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach and relies on library- based data collection. The findings indicate that property occupies a highly significant position in the Islamic legal system, making the Islamic state responsible for protecting and safeguarding the property rights of its citizens. To fulfill this responsibility, the state is required to implement appropriate legal measures, including the enforcement of Hudud (fixed Islamic punishments) and Ta'zir (discretionary punishments), which serve as effective mechanisms for protecting property rights and maintaining financial security within society. Furthermore, the proper implementation of Islamic criminal laws can play a vital role in preventing violations, encroachments, and unlawful appropriation of citizens' property. The study concludes that, according to Islamic traditions, the Islamic state is religiously and legally obligated to ensure the financial security of society and to protect and preserve the property rights of its citizens.
