Question 39:It is normally said that Islamic economy enjoys the best economic system and regulations, far better than those of other economic schools. My question is: How is this superiority proved in practice? How does Islam safely guarantee a sound economy without taxation? Please, answer the question in as much detail as possible.
Answer 39: The superiority of the Islamic economic system is because of the strong rules and regulations existing in it. By reviewing various Islamic contracts such as Mozarebah, partnership, Ju'alah and the likes which have their independent particular features, impacts and aspects, we can understand the superiority of the Islamic economy to other economic schools. There is no economic school that may have such different contracts with the special features that have been explained and demonstrated in the Islamic jurisprudence. Islam encourages earning halal property and has considered it a kind of jihad in the way of God. It has also forbidden usury and allowed interest-free loans. These rules, if applied correctly, would solve many a number of social problems. Khums, zakat and their important results as well as their specific consumption areas are a good reason for the superiority of the rules of the Islamic economic system. Of course, you know that the aim of Islam's economy and its strategy is not the enlargement of capital assets despite encouraging productive labor and work but the aim of Western economic schools is to develop and increase wealth in any possible manner.

Question 36:If incidents like a blaze, collapse of a wall, landslides etc. take place in public government places such as public halls, terminals, cinema and chain stores as a result of which some people die, is the government liable for losses?
Answer 36: No, the government is not responsible for losses except for when there had been a fairly rational possibility of such incidents like a building collapse which the government did not prevent due to negligence, in such cases where the losses according to the custom (urf) are ascribed to the government, the government is considered liable. Generally speaking, such an ascription is necessary for liability.

Question 35:A person puts currency notes in an ordinary envelop and posts it to an address, the postman seeing it as an illegal act on the part of the sender, takes the money for him, is he liable? What if he is ignorant of the law?
Answer 35: Yes, he is liable and it is not permissible for him to take the money. He is liable even if he is ignorant and he should return the money to the person concerned. One who acts against the law cannot take legal action to claim his right, if his money does not reach the destination. This is absolutely different from the postman's act who takes the money for himself. May Allah grant you success.

Question 29: I had asked a question about the People of the Book (Christian and Jews) and you said that they are taher (ritually pure). Does the said verdict include the entire European society?
Answer 29: If a person says that he is from the people of the Book and there is no indication of him being a polytheist, he is treated as ritually clean. The distortions in their teachings do not harm their purity, if they do not lead them to setting up a partner for God.
