Ma`rifat Hoghoughi

This research, for the first time, systematically formulates the jurisprudential rule of "Prohibition of Exclusivity" as an independent rule with broader scope than similar concepts (such as hoarding and monopoly). This rule encompasses not only the monopolization of goods but also any misuse of public resources in economic, political, and cultural domains. The research method is descriptive-analytical, relying on library resources including Quranic verses, the narrations of the Infallibles, and jurisprudential texts to examine the four types of evidence (Quranic, narrative, rational, and consensus). The findings indicate that this rule is rooted in Quranic verses (such as verse 29 of Surah An-Nisa and verse 7 of Surah Al-Hashr) and the narrations of the Infallibles, and is related to concepts like hoarding and monopoly, but its distinguishing feature is its emphasis on economic justice and preventing social harm. The results suggest that implementing this rule could lead to a reduction in artificial inflation, improved quality of goods, and the realization of economic justice. Furthermore, in cases of conflict with rules such as Taslīt (the principle of ownership), it takes precedence due to public interest. Finally, the formulation of effective laws and meticulous market oversight are proposed as executive solutions for this rule.
