Blocking the Means and its Impact on Forbidden and Prohibited Sales

(An applied models)

Abstract

This research aims to explain the concept of blocking the means and its impact on controlling forbidden and prohibited sales, which is concerned with preventing permissible means that lead to forbidden things. By analyzing real-life application models that illustrate how to employ blocking the means in financial jurisprudence, the study also reviews scholars' opinions on the application of the rule, the conditions for its implementation, and their positions on some contemporary forms of sales, such as evading usury, selling `inah, and the like. The study highlights the preventative aspect of the rule in preserving the objectives of Islamic law, particularly in the area of money and transactions.
