Abstract

With the development and transformation of societies, the criminal phenomenon has also changed. This article seeks to answer the question of whether expediency in the punishments of perpetrators of acts disturbing the economic order is in conflict with justice in law enforcement. What is the relationship between them in jurisprudence and law? Under punishments, especially crimes that disrupt the economic order, they have come to the conclusion that expediency is not really for a specific group but for the general public. In Islamic jurisprudence, economic crimes are considered as obvious examples of haram acts and have gathered all the undesirable personal, social, educational and even spiritual effects. For this reason, looking at the history of economic crimes in Islam, we find that such crimes have been dealt with severely, and the discrimination resulting from expediency is in conflict with the criminalizations and punishments in economic crimes in jurisprudence and law.
