Al-Sadr’s jurisprudential approach is distinguished by its rigor and depth. He advocated for the application of ijtihad in various fields, including economics and politics, thereby broadening the scope of Shia jurisprudence beyond mere ritualistic observances. His methodology encompasses a critical engagement with historical texts while also incorporating sociological methodologies to draw parallels with present circumstances.
Furthermore, al-Sadr argued that economic justice is an intrinsic element of Islamic teachings. In “Al-Iqtisad al-Islami,” he critiques the dichotomy between faith and economic pursuits, articulating a vision of an Islamic economic system that prioritizes equity and social welfare. His call for an economic order grounded in justice reflects his commitment to both Islamic principles and socio-economic realities.
