Abstract

In addition to extensive Islamic studies and texts in the field of conventional economics, some studies and research, based on different categorization of economics, have been carried out with the aim of studying the ethical foundations of Islamic economy. However, in the field of finances and investments, there has been no studies with an ethical approach to fiscal matters such as markets and novel financial instrument, and investment approaches and methods. This article, after studying the ethics of economy, will define the ethics of investment and the relation between ethics of investment and the present literature on ethics of economy. The main question in this article is that what are the requirements and the ethical and educational moral lessons of Islam about investment activities? Afterwards, with a process-based approach to investment, and from the viewpoint of the Quran and Sacred Traditions, ethical topics and themes have been categorized as and studied in three main groups of pre-investment, investment, and post-investment. Categorization of verses and Traditions, as well as devising a subject-based framework for ethics of investment are included in the findings of this article.
