Abstract

As one of the most important means for securing sustenance, work in Islam is considered both an obligation and a right. This study discusses the views of the Islamic Sharia on training for productive vocations, the seeking of sustenance and the conditions of the individuals involved in vocational training. The study considers a number of variations such as whether the individual is rich or poor, an active employee or an employee with disguised unemployment, though some laws prohibit dual jobs even outside working hours. The researcher has arrived at the conclusion that there are cases in which training for a vocation is obligatory according to the Islamic Jurisprudence. Examples of these cases include training to preserve money and the appointment of individuals from the society by the ruler to carry out vocational jobs. The study emphasizes the role of the educational institutions in training the youth and concludes that the jurisprudence rule takes into consideration the essence of education and training as well as their objectives, i.e. working and earning. And while there are no legal rules which prohibit an employee from undergoing vocational training, training is only permissible when it does not conflict with or negatively affect carrying out duties.
