Means of Earning Profit in Islamic Jurisprudence and Yemeni LawA Comparative Jurisprudential Study
This study examines the means of profit-making in Islamic jurisprudence and Yemeni law through a comparative fiqh-based approach. It aims to present the opinions of jurists and to give preference to those views that are supported by stronger evidence and more persuasive legal reasoning, while comparing them with the provisions of the Yemeni Civil Code. The study is limited to three main economic domains: sale, partnerships, and the stock market (securities exchange). Each means is analyzed in terms of its definition, the legal evidence for its permissibility, its classifications, and its various forms in Islamic jurisprudence, in addition to clarifying the position adopted by Yemeni law. The study concludes that Islamic jurisprudence fundamentally affirms the permissibility of profit-making means, despite juristic disagreement over certain forms of their application, while maintaining agreement on their general legitimacy. It also demonstrates that Yemeni law, in many of its provisions, has drawn upon and been influenced by the principles of Islamic jurisprudence.
