5. " and do not give the feeble-minded your property which allah has
made for you a (means of) support, but feed them and clothe them therewith,
and speak to them with kind words."
commentary:
in islamic literature distrustful winebibbers, in arabic, are called
/safih/
`feeble-minded'.
therefore, personal properties and public properties
should not be put under the authority of some unreliable persons.
some islamic traditions indicate that the vast sense of the term
"feeble
-minded"
covers evil-doers, too. the secret that property should not be
given unto their control is that
` property '
is the consistence of the society.
thus, giving any position, responsibility and secret imformation, upon
which the consistence of the society depends, to the persons who are
habitually wrong-doers, is not right.
explanations:
1. those who are feeble-minded, winebibbers, and unrestrained
should not be authoritative in economy and wealth.
2. when the feeble-minded have authority over even their own
property, it is economically harmful for your property, too.
(it is notable that the verse says:
" your property "
and it does not say:
their property).
" and do not give the feeble-minded your property which allah has made
for you a (means of) support, ..."
3. in daily affairs, economical expediencies of the society and mental
development ought to be noted to.
" and do not give the feeble-minded your property...."
4. the feeble-minded persons are not admissible to use their
properties themselves.
5. the financial and economical authorities of the system should be
chosen from among some upright and experienced persons.
" and do not give the feeble-minded ..."
6. the contractors of the economical agreements must not be some
wrong-doers and sinners.
7. wealth is a means of rising-up. then, if wealth is not utilized as a
means of rising-up in a country, the economical system there is ill and its
excecutor is a feeble-minded person even if he has got p.h.d. in
economics.
8. wealth is for the consistence of life, economics, and the leaver of
the system.
"... which allah has made for you a (means of) support, ..."
9. capitals must not remain stagnantly. the wealth of the orphans
and the feeble-minded persons should also be applied in the current of
production and profitableness, so that its income can be enough for their
lives to run and nothing of their capital would be spent.
"... but feed them and clothe them therewith, ..."
10. the spiritual status and personality of the deprived must be
regarded to.
"... and speak to them with kind words."
