Infaq Fi Sabil Allah and the Exemplary Conduct of the Female Companions (RA): An Analytical Study

Abstract

This study explores the concept of Infaq fi Sabeelillah (spending in the way of Allah) in the light of the Qur’an and Hadith, emphasizing its comprehensive nature that encompasses financial, social, and moral dimensions. The research particularly focuses on the exemplary role of the female Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) who demonstrated remarkable dedication, sacrifice, and sincerity in their acts of charity and service. Their contributions ranging from financial support to humanitarian and social participation reflect the true spirit of faith and devotion. By analyzing their lives and practices, this study derives guiding principles for contemporary Muslim women, highlighting the relevance of these models in countering materialism and promoting social welfare in the modern era. The paper concludes with key findings and recommendations, emphasizing that the spirit of Infaq serves as a foundation for moral development, social balance, and the empowerment of women in the path of faith and humanity.
