Misapplication of Rights and Its Impact on the Environment: A Hadith-Based and Maqāsid-Oriented Study for the Protection of Natural Resources
摘要
This study addresses the issue of the misapplication of rights and its impact on the environment from an Islamic perspective, by examining the higher objectives (Maqāsid) of Islamic law (Shariah) and in light of the Prophetic narration (Hadith). The study focuses on how to protect natural resources from diminution. It reviews the historical and religious background of the theory of misapplication of rights in Islamic jurisprudence, elucidating how this theory contributes to environmental preservation. The study also includes an analysis of religious texts prohibiting such abuses, offering practical examples of how to prevent abuses in areas such as air, water, and food pollution, as well as waste management and noise control. Additionally, the study aims to highlight the role of Islamic jurisprudence in protecting environmental resources and presents a comprehensive Shariah (Islamic Law)-based vision for preventing the misapplication of rights. The research employs a descriptive-analytical methodology. Key recommendations include the application of Shariah rulings related to environmental protection in modern times and the promotion of environmental awareness among Muslims through further research and study in this field.
