Article 153
The State guarantees to create work for all of those who carry its citizenship.
The evidences for this article is that it is part of the generality of the words of the Prophet :
. » الإِمَامُ رَاعٍ وَهُوَ وَمَسْؤُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ «.
“The Imam is a guardian and he is responsible for his subjects” (reported by Al-Bukhari from ‘Abd Allah (swt) b. Umar), and from the most important issues of managing the affairs is creating work for those who are capable but do not find any. The fact that maintenance of the poor person who has no relative capable of maintaining them is upon the State is due to his words:
.» مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ كَلاًّ فَإِلَيْنَا «.
“If somebody (dies among the Muslims) leaving some property, the property will go to his heirs; and if he leaves dependants (orphans), we will take care of them.” (agreed upon from Abu Hurayrah). And in the narration of Abu Hurayrah:
. وَمَنْ تَ رَكَ مَالاً فَ لْيَرِثْهُ عَ صَبَتُهُ مَنْ كَانُوا، وَمَنْ تَ رَكَ دَيْناً أَوْ ضَيَاعاً فَ لْيَأْتِنِي فَأَنَا « » مَوْلاَه .
“If a believer leaves some property then his relatives will inherit that property; but if he is in debt or he leaves poor children, let those (creditors and children) come to me, for them I am his sponsor (surely)” (agreed upon, and the wording is from Al-Bukhari).
The State ought to secure jobs for those whom she is bound to spend on for their living. Ibn Maja reported from Anas Bin Malik who said:
. يَسْأَلُهُ فَقَالَ: لَكَ فِي بيَْتِكَ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ: أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ الأَنْصَارِ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِِِّ « بلََى، حِلْسٌ نلَْبَسُ بعَْضَهُ وَنبَْسُطُ بعَْضَهُ وَقَدَحٌ نَشْرَبُ فِيهِ الْمَاءَ، قَالَ: ائْتِنِِ بِِِمَا، قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَنْ يَشْتَرِي هَذَيْنِ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَنَا آخُذُهَُُا بِِِمَا، فَأَخَذَهَُُا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِدِرْهَمٍ، قَالَ: مَنْ يَزِيدُ عَلَى دِرْهَمٍ مَرَّتَيِْ أَوْ ثَلاثًا، قَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَنَا آخُذُهَُُا بِدِرْهََُيِْ، فَأَعْ طَاهَُُا إِيَّاهُ وَأَخَذَ الدِّرْهََُيِْ فَأَعْطَاهَُُا الأَنْصَارِيَّ وَقَالَ: اشْتَرِ بِأَحَدِهَُِا طَعَامًا فَانْبِذْهُ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ، وَاشْتَرِ فَشَدَّ فِيهِ عُودًا بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ: اذْهَبْ بِالآخَرِ قَدُومًا فَأْتِنِِ بِهِ، فَفَعَلَ، فَأَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَاحْتَطِبْ وَلا أَرَاكَ خََ سَةَ عَشَرَ يوَْمًا، فَجَعَلَ يَحْتَطِبُ وَيَبِيعُ، فَجَاءَ وَقَدْ أَصَابَ عَشْرَةَ دَرَاهِمَ، فَقَالَ اشْتَرِ بِبَعْضِهَا طَعَامًا وَبِبَعْضِهَا ثوَْباً، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَذَا خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ تََِيءَ وَالْمَسْأَلَةُ نُكْتَةٌ فِي وَجْهِكَ يوَْمَ الْقِ يَامَةِ، إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ لا تَصْلُحُ إِلا لِذِي فَقْرٍ مُدْقِعٍ أَوْ لِذِي غُرْمٍ مُفْظِعٍ أَوْ دَمٍ » مُوجِعٍ .
