The Jurisprudential Applications of Voluntary Work in Islam

Abstract

Voluntary work has strong foundations in Islamic law and the same has been recognized by scholars of jurisprudence. The objective of this study is to emphasize the significance of voluntary work in Islam and demonstrate its practical applications in the field of jurisprudence. Using an inductive approach, the findings reveal that voluntary work is deeply embedded in Islam, as supported by references from the Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Furthermore, scholars of jurisprudence have established the legitimacy of voluntary work through various legal rulings and regulations across different aspects of jurisprudence. The findings recommend raising awareness about the importance of voluntary work in Islam and implementing its practice in contemporary societies.
