Implication of Social Business in Islam: Solving the Problem of Begging

Abstract

In a country like Bangladesh poverty is the main reason for begging. In this research our attempt is to give a solution for begging using economic instruments in Islam and social business formulated by Dr. Mohammad Yunus. We have used primary data from a social business and secondary data through literature review regarding begging, social business and different instruments in Islam such as Waqf, Zakatand Sadaqa. The model suggested in the paper will not only target the beggars individually but also their family members. The welfare of the families will act as a motivation for them to quit begging and involve themselves in work.
