Muhammad ibn Adam al Kawthari – Fiqh of Money & Economic Dealings of Everyday Life

About this lecture

In this comprehensive lecture delivered in Norway, Sheikh Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari explores the Islamic framework of financial and economic dealings, emphasising that Islam is a complete way of life encompassing far more than acts of worship alone. He outlines the key branches of Islamic knowledge — including ibadah, mu'asharah, and mu'amalat — and explains how earning a halal livelihood is itself an obligation and an act of worship when accompanied by the right intention. The lecture covers essential Islamic rulings on riba (interest), gambling, fraud, deception, bribery, hoarding, and business ethics, drawing on Quranic verses and authentic Hadith throughout.
