Question 39 NECO • 2019 • ISLAMIC_RELIGIOUS_STUDIES • objective

Caliph Umar instituted a land tax (kharaj) that aimed at equitable revenue, while Caliph Uthman standardized the minting of coins to facilitate trade. Which of these policies better reflects the principle of "Maslahah al‑Mursalah" (public interest), and why?

Answer Options

A. Caliph Umar's land‑tax (kharaj) policy better reflects Maslahah al‑Mursalah, but because it primarily increases state revenue rather than promoting social equity.

B. Both Caliph Umar's land‑tax (kharaj) and Caliph Uthman's coin‑minting policies equally reflect Maslahah al‑Mursalah, since each enhances public interest in its own domain.

Correct Answer C. Caliph Umar's land‑tax (kharaj) policy better reflects Maslahah al‑Mursalah, as it directly promotes social equity and public welfare.

D. Caliph Uthman's standardized minting of coins better reflects Maslahah al‑Mursalah, as it directly promotes social equity and public welfare.

Correct Answer

Correct Option:

Caliph Umar's land‑tax (kharaj) policy better reflects Maslahah al‑Mursalah, as it directly promotes social equity and public welfare.
