What is the concept of 'fardhu kifayah' in Islamic production?

'Fardhu kifayah' refers to a communal obligation in Islam. In terms of production, it means that it is a collective duty for the Muslim community to ensure that essential goods and services are produced. If some individuals fulfill this duty, others are exempt; however, if no one fulfills it, the entire community is considered sinful.

What are the three main objectives of production in Islam?

The three main objectives of production in Islam are: 1) to meet basic life needs and reduce dependence on others, ensuring self-sufficiency; 2) to benefit not only oneself but also others, particularly family; 3) to produce as an act of worship to Allah, contributing to spiritual fulfillment.

How does the purpose of production in conventional economics compare to production in Islam?
