Abstract

This article explores the significant contributions of the Companions (Sahabiat) of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the realms of economic and inheritance matters, highlighting their inquiries and insights that shaped Islamic teachings. The work of these early Muslim women in protecting and transmitting hadith is unparalleled, offering invaluable perspectives on issues such as fair trade, zakat, and inheritance rights. Their active engagement not only addressed societal needs during their time but also laid the groundwork for understanding contemporary issues related to wealth distribution and women's rights in inheritance. The enduring relevance of their contributions underscores the critical role women have played throughout Islamic history in various disciplines, including jurisprudence, ethics, and community development.
