Basic Theory of Islamic Social-Public Finance
摘要
This chapter elaborates the role of Islamic social-public finance not only as a crucial solution to poverty eradication, but also establishing the sector’s importance in economic development. Islamic social finance has emerged through the collection and utilisation of religious social funds, such as zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf (ZISWAF), which is understood as part of the broader scope of the Islamic economic system. The role of government remains important in managing and distributing economic resources to the community.
