Abstract

This research has analyzed and criticized the important book of Imam Musa Sadr entitled "Islamic Economic Approaches". This book is a collection of speeches and essays of Imam Musa Sadr in the field of Islamic economics, which has received the attention of academic centers in the last decade and has been studied and discussed as one of the texts of Islamic economics. The review of this book shows that Imam Musa Sadr, like Martyr Sadr, separates economics from the economic school in the field of Islamic economics and believes that Islam does not have an economic science, but the Islamic economic school is based on Islamic rules and jurisprudence. In this article, after analyzing the theoretical literature of Islamic economics from the point of view of Imam Musa Sadr and Martyr Sadr, the strengths and weaknesses of the book were examined with a descriptive-analytical method. The identified weaknesses are ambiguity in the concept of fairness of wages and worker's share of production, lack of attention to the concept of governmental jurisprudence and ambiguity in the definition of Islamic economic school, lack of attention to the methodology of economics, ambiguity in expressing the basis of the theory of value in Islam, lack of paying attention to the activity of the legal personality of the government in the economy and the ambiguity in expressing the authority of the Islamic government and velayat-e-faqih in the regulation of the economy.
