الحياة الاقتصادية في الجنوب الغربي إبان الاحتلال الفرنسي من خلال فتاوى الشيخ مولاي أحمد الطاهري

Abstract EN

The nature of economic life varies according to time, place and human activities, and this article gives us a clear and comprehensive picture of the various types of economic activity in the South-West through the fatwas of Sheikh Moulay Ahmed Tahiri.

The research aims to inform us of the nature of the economic pattern in that region (agricultural activity and commercial activity), and we also know the French quest to dominate the economy, especially the extraction of underground resources.

Using the inductive and analytical approach of Sheikh Moulay Ahmed's opinions, we have been able to discern the most important features of the economic life in this region in its various forms and details.

Economic activity was characterized by the predominance of agricultural production, especially the production of dates, and the use of traditional methods of production.

He also distinguished the dominance of France and its control of the markets, and then its control over the extraction of land wealth, and showed the magnitude of economic dealings with the occupation imposed on the population.

The region was also known for its many endowments, especially for funding religious activity.
