Ma`rifat Eqtesadi

The equal division of the treasury by Imam Ali is one of the definitive reports in the history of early Islam. Despite the certainty of the original report, no report has been cited about its details and which of the revenues of the treasury were divided equally. What exacerbates the ambiguity is the lack of reference to the necessity of equal division of the treasury in jurisprudential books. Therefore, the present study, relying on historical reports and outlining the jurisprudential foundations of the issue and using the ijtihad method, seeks to answer the question of which sources of the treasury were divided equally among Muslims by the Imam. The results of the research show that, considering the multiplicity of sources of the treasury and the determination of the place of consumption for some of them, Hazrat only divided some of the revenues of the treasury, in which everyone had an equal share, equally, and this approach did not include that part of the treasury that had a specific place of consumption.
