Mattson: Status-Based Definitions of Need in Early Islamic Zakat and Maintenance Laws [86ad7d23]

Tags: papers, islamic jurisprudence lecture 3

  • Early Islamic scholars placed an absolute cap on the # of dinars for zakat
  • abu ubyad says differently

  • schools

    • maliki - houses vary, as long as there is no surplus, zakat can be given
    • hanbali - same as above
    • hanafi - strict cap, cannot exceed an absolute amount of wealth
    • al-shafi'i - argues for an adjustable cost of living concept

  • ma'ruf - what is known

    • shafi applies this to zakat
  • poses the question whether zakat based charity systems, based off of social birth, actually serve to maintain the status quo
