الاكتفاء الذاتي : مفهومه، تأصيله، آثاره

Abstract EN

This research aims at investigating the concept of self-sufficiency as a contemporary concept.

It establishes its Islamic legal origins and foundations which have been thoroughly examined by Muslim jurists.

To achieve these goals, the researcher has adopted a descriptive approach to portray the concept of self-sufficiency and its evolution from an Islamic viewpoint.

The researcher has employed the comparative approach to highlight the comparison and contrast between absolute and relative approaches to self-sufficiency and its definition from both an Islamic jurisprudence and economic viewpoints.

The research has employed the analytical approach to deduct the various types of self-sufficiency and diligently examine the verses and Sunnah to derive the religious and legitimate foundations and roots of self-sufficiency and its various means.

The research concluded that self-sufficiency has its well-established religious roots in the Quran and Sunnah, which consists of both the sayings and practices of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and that both of them have clarified the means by which this concept can be accomplished.

goals of self-sufficiency are to meet the basic needs, and to ensure an appropriate standard of living which is somewhere in between poverty threshold and excessive wealth whilst at the same time guaranteeing financial independence.
