%0 Journal Article %T The Kit¨¡b al-kasb Attributed to al-Shayb¨¡n¨©: Poverty, Surplus, and the Circulation of Wealth %A Mustafa Kahya %J - %D 2019 %X Modern discussions of asceticism and accumulation of capital in the early Islamic world cite a Kitdb al-kasb attributed to al-Shaybani. This book is actually something of a collective Hanafi pro duction, with much of its content traceable to al-Sarakhsi. However, it does contain a core of say ings or doctrines that can be attributed to Shaybani himself. Unlike the later Hanafis, Shaybani in the Kasb does not express hostility to radical ascetics. In fact he seems to say more about poverty and charity than about acquisition and gain. The "economy of poverty" which emerges from Shay bani's doctrines contrasts sharply with early Islamic thinking in the tradition of Cilm tadbir al manzil or "economics"-even though both of these ("economy of poverty" and tadbir) appear in the Kasb. The article concludes with discussion of the Karramiyya, the only named adversaries in the Kasb, and their "declaring it forbidden to earn a living" (tahrim al-meqasib) %K fakirlik %K m¨¹sl¨¹manlar %K kuran %K ilm£¿ eserler %K ticaret %K burjuvazi %K £¿slam %K servet %K din£¿ uygulamalar %K yemek israf£¿ %U http://dergipark.org.tr/ijisef/issue/44316/482878
