الحق في الحاجات الأساسية للإنسان: "دراسة مقارنة"

Abstract EN

This study reveals a right that existed before all other human rights: "Basic Human Needs" (food, clothing, drink, housing).

In order to consolidate and activate this right, the study was exposed to searching for it in opinions and ideas, in divine laws: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, in positive legislation: declarations, charters and international conventions, and in the Saudi and Egyptian constitutions.

The study then dealt with clarifying basic needs as a human right, and analyzing the relationship between it and various other rights, and between it and both the phenomenon of poverty, and the right to social security.

She concluded that the right to the basic needs of man has been clearly and specifically stated in the Islamic religion, as it came as an integrated organization for all human beings in various aspects of life, and included a set of assets brought by the texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah, to be adhered to by all people at all times and places, and the most important of these assets: "Ensuring the adequacy of each individual in society." The study concluded- in addition to other results- that everyone who has no income, or who does not cover all his basic needs, or is unable to work for compelling reasons..

all of these have the right to obtain basic needs, and that the state is responsible for guaranteeing all rights, especially the latter, because it is linked to work, and it represents all the necessities of life..

As for those who cannot practice work, the state takes care of it, believing in the words of Allah: "And those who have a known right in their wealth (24) for the questioner and the deprived" (Al-Ma'arij: 24, 25), and his Prophet: "Whoever leaves a loss, it is for me" (Bukhari and Muslim).
