Abstract:

 In this research, the effect of troubles and difficulties which may occur in the situations of people due to hunger, famine and natural disasters on the provisions of Islamic law will be examined. We have convinced that this research will be useful since famine and hunger situations in some Islamic countries have undeniable dimension. Hunger has been one of the greatest concerns of mankind throughout history. Along with the poverty, misery and death, hunger has been referred to as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Hunger, famine and natural disasters are facts that occur due to the internal and external dynamics of nature and outside the human will or with the human factor. And they are also facts that deeply affect human life. Hunger, famine and natural disasters have been events that have a cruel effect on all living and nonliving beings since the beginning of the world. From a social perspective, many problems arise due to lack of food security, hunger, national unrest and wars. In fact, if used without waste, the Earths resources are sufficient to feed far more than the current world population. The productivity of agricultural production has increased in incredible measures due to developments after the industrial revolution, such as the development of mechanization, fertilization, spraying and irrigation facilities in agriculture. Although cultivable land is limited on Earth, the amount of harvested product from a unit of land can be greatly increased through productivity gains. The subject of this research is to determine the effects of disasters such as hunger and famine on Islamic law during the period of the Prophet and in the following years.

 Bu çalışmamızda açlık, kıtlık ve doğal afetler sebebiyle insanların hal ve durumlarında oluşacak sıkıntılarda ve meşakkatlerde, İslam hukukundaki hükümler üzerinde meydana gelebilecek değişiklikler incelenecektir. Özellikle günümüzde şahit olduğumuz bazı İslam ülkelerinde meydana gelen açlık ve kıtlık durumlarını dikkate aldığımızda böylesi bir çalışmanın faydalı olacağı kanaatindeyiz. İnsanoğlunun tarih boyunca en büyük endişelerinden birini açlık sorunu oluşturmuş; yoksulluk, sefalet ve ölümle birlikte açlık mahşerin dört atlısından biri sıfatıyla anılır olmuştur. Açlık, kıtlık ve doğal afetler, tabiatın iç ve dış dinamikleri sonucunda ve insan iradesi dışında veya insan faktörü ile oluşan ve insan yaşamını derinden etkileyen olaylardır. Açlık, kıtlık ve doğal afetler dünyanın oluşumundan itibaren tüm canlı ve cansız fiziki ve yaşamsal olarak en çok etkileyen ve çaresiz bırakan olaylar olmuşlardır. Toplumsal boyutta, gıda güvencesinin yetersizliği ve açlık nedeniyle birçok sorun ortaya çıkmakta, ülkesel huzursuzluklar oluşmakta ve savaşlar olmaktadır. Aslında israf edilmeden kullanılması halinde, yeryüzünün kaynakları bugünkü dünya nüfusundan çok daha fazlasını beslemeye yeterlidir. Sanayi devriminden sonra ortaya çıkan gelişmeler; tarımda makineleşme, gübreleme, ilaçlama ve sulama imkânlarının gelişmesi gibi nedenlerle tarımsal üretimdeki verimlilik inanılmaz ölçülerde artmıştır. Yeryüzünde tarıma elverişli topraklar sınırlı olmasına rağmen, verimlilik artışları sayesinde birim araziden elde edilen ürün miktarı büyük oranda artırılabilmektedir. Bu çalışma konusu Hz. Peygamber döneminde ve takip eden yıllarda da yaşanan açlık ve kıtlık gibi afetlerde İslam hukuku üzerinde ne gibi etkileri olduğunu tespit etmektir.
