بيان مفهوم الفساد في سياق الآيات القرآنية و الأحاديث النبوية و أنواعه و أسبابه

Abstract EN

This study defines the concept of corruption in a comprehensive and investigative manner from several aspects, which are: firstly, the linguistic aspect; secondly, the conventional aspect; thirdly, the aspect of the Qur’anic context; and fourthly, the aspect of the Prophetic Ḥadīth.

This study traces the incidence of the word corruption in the context of the Qur’anic verses and the Prophetic traditions.

Also, it is concerned with exploring the types and forms of corruption, and the most prominent causes leading to it.

In addition, the present study is based on several scientific approaches, the most prominent of which are: the collective inductive approach; the selective method of certain and relative texts and evidence; the deductive analytical method; and the critical approach.

The study has reached many results, the most important of which are: that the origin of the word corruption carries many meanings, that are either tangible or intangible, material or immaterial, and that the common denominator of these meanings linguistically indicates the occurrence of a defect in things or people, that leads them to breach their duties, and thus depart from their nature and function; and that the word corruption is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an and the Prophetic Ḥadīth in diversified contexts with various meanings.

This study also has defined the term corruption technically in an inclusive manner, and has explored the types of corruption, its forms and causes, that invade all areas: religious, social, economic, political, and administrative.
