Abstract

This research examines the purposes of donations; that is, contracts in which a person gives up part of his property with full will and without receiving any compensation. The importance of this issue lies in its connection with the purposes of Sharia; because the main goal of the research is to identify and standardize the specific purposes of donations for the benefit of mujtahids in current and detailed issues related to this field. The research method is descriptive; but in the analysis process, inductive and deductive methods have also been used. The research findings show that the substantive difference between donation contracts and exchange contracts prevents the comparability of these two types of contracts; because each has specific purposes. Among the specific purposes of Sharia in donations, we can mention such things as worship and approaching God, supporting the needy Muslims, ensuring the continuous circulation of property, encouraging an increase in donations, and the heart satisfaction of the donor. These purposes include religious, economic, social, legal, and moral dimensions.
