This research examines the legal rulings concerning land as presented by Yahya ibn Adam in his book, Al-Kharaj, a text that combines hadith-based perspectives with economic organization in early Islamic thought. The research stems from the premise that hadith collections have not been sufficiently utilized to study financial structures, despite containing valuable legislative material. The research also sheds light on different types of land, such as fay' (booty acquired), 'anwa (conquest), and sulh (consensus), clarifying their ownership and legal rulings. It emphasizes the role of the imam (leader) in managing these lands and directing their revenues to serve the interests of the community.

Abstract

This research examines the legal rulings concerning land as presented by Yahya ibn Adam in his book, Al-Kharaj, a text that combines hadith-based perspectives with economic organization in early Islamic thought. The research stems from the premise that hadith collections have not been sufficiently utilized to study financial structures, despite containing valuable legislative material. The research also sheds light on different types of land, such as fay' (booty acquired), 'anwa (conquest), and sulh (consensus), clarifying their ownership and legal rulings. It emphasizes the role of the imam (leader) in managing these lands and directing their revenues to serve the interests of the community.
