More DescriptionIn this dissertation an attempt has been made to give a comprehensive exposition of the Islamic financial theories in their entirety with especial emphasis when possible on the reasons underlying them. To this end all the available primary sources have been used and the divergent views which they contain frequently cited. A body of ancient theories, however, no matter how fully set forth, would convey but little meaning to the modern mind, unless the origin of those theories were indicated and their practical bearings pointed out. The doctrines and views brought together in this book are, it must be borne in mind, the orthodox, particularly the Hanifite, and to a less extent, the Shafiite and Malikite ones. The views of other schools are only occasionally mentioned, not only because they have enjoyed but scant recognition, but also because the sources concerning them are few and inadequate. In quoting the views of the doctors, the source of each view has been indicated whenever it was considered important or was found in only one or few of the sources. In most cases, however, it was deemed sufficient to indicate the sources consulted collectively, either at the beginning of the section or the end of the paragraph. In referring to the sources a shorter title, usually the one employed by the Islamic doctors, has been used. The full title of each reference will be found in an alphabetical list at the end of the book. As an aid to the reader, the gist of the dis- cussion has been indicated by the words printed in bold faced type. It is hoped that this device and the analytical table of contents and topical index that have been supplied will permit ready reference to any part of the discussion.
