EKONOMSKO-IMOVINSKI KRIMINAL U ISLAMU
ECONOMIC AND PROPERTY CRIME IN ISLAM

Summary/Abstract: Property and the economy are the basic needs of every individual, community, society and state and also their backbone. Therefore, Islam classified property into five universal values, protected them with its norms and regulations and determined sanctions against anyone who threatens, devalues and destroys them in any way, because their protection in the same time protects the individual, family, society and public order in the country, even the state itself. Property and economy in every society and state have the status of bloodstream in a living organism - the body. In order for the body to be healthy and able to perform its basic function, it is necessary to have a healthy blood circulation. Healthy bloodstream means healthy and clean veins, arteries and capillaries so that the blood can reach and bring oxygen and food to every cell and capillary in the body. Any narrowing or blockage in these conductors would have undesirable consequences that will affect the normal functioning of the body and possibly cause its death. The same logic and analogy should be used to observe at property and the economy in one society and state. If property does not reach every citizen in society and communities in healthy and unclogged ways, but accumulates in the hands of individuals or privileged groups and oligarchy, the bloodstream of such society and state will become sick and clogged and such state and society will not be able for normal functioning and then it's only a matter of days before it gets a heart attack or stroke and be left crippled, completely paralyzed or destroyed. Hence, the aim of this study is to examine the position of Islam on the issue of economic and property crime and the preventive measures it prescribed in order to protect and preserve that bloodstream due to its fateful and unavoidable importance in the life of an individual and in the survival of every society and state. The current disruption of the property and economic system, i.e. the economic bloodstream at the macro and micro level, confirms the importance of its protection and health, otherwise, the consequences of its disease and blockage will affect almost every country and every resident of this planet. This confirms the current economic situation in the world and all the consequences which it has caused and brought. The paper will list the most important types of that crime, the sanctions that have been prescribed, the benefits that are realized from the using those sanctions, and the preventive - reform program that Islam has prescribed for the protection of the economy and its revitalization.
