Jurisprudential Aspects of Public Participation in the Economy/1

The debate between proponents and opponents of the existence of an Islamic economic system is a longstanding one, also present in other areas of Islamic jurisprudence. The question arises: does believing or not believing in the existence of an Islamic economic system affect its acceptance or rejection? Hojjat al-Islam Dr. Ali Nemati, Assistant Professor of the Islamic Economics Department at the Research Institute for Islamic Studies in Humanities, addresses this question in an exclusive oral commentary for Contemporary Jurisprudence. While he advocates for maximalist jurisprudence, he does not accept some of the implications commonly associated with this theory.
