Examination of the Rulings on Deception and Its Prevention Methods from the Islamic Perspective

Abstract

The term Gash "Fraud" refers to concealing defects or misrepresenting the true condition of saleable goods. In this research, the focus has been on exploring the Islamic perspective on deception and examining the rulings and methods of prevention associated with it. The study has utilized a descriptive-analytical approach to investigate these aspects. The research findings demonstrate that deceiving is not only considered morally wrong from an intellectual standpoint, but it is also explicitly prohibited according to the teachings of the Quran and the Hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). There are various forms of deception, including cyber deception, substitution of low-quality goods with high-quality ones, and misrepresentation of goods contrary to their actual attributes. Solutions to prevent deception in the holy religion of Islam have been outlined, including the implementation of security and intelligence measures in significant and densely populated areas. Additionally, coordination between security personnel and the undertaking of ideological and religious activities play a crucial role in combating deception. The purpose of examining the ruling on deception from an Islamic perspective is to understand its types, effects, and ways to prevent it within society. By preventing deception, the aim is to ensure that no one is harmed and to promote a more just and honest environment.
