خلاصة:
Bayt al-Mal, in the economic system of Islam, occupies the most discussions and enjoys a special position. The goal of Bayt al-Mal is to fulfill high goals in the evolutionary movement of humans toward happiness, spirituality, and closeness to God. Some of those goals are: guiding people toward noble ethics and spiritual values; establishing social and economic justice in society; developing talents and flourishing human initiative and creativity; uprooting poverty from society; attending to the interests and benefits of the deprived and the oppressed, etc. Imam Ali, peace be upon him, addressing Abdullah bin Zam'ah (one of his followers and companions) when asking him for help, clarifies the nature of Bayt al-Mal for him. He considers Bayt al-Mal neither as the personal property of the Imam nor as the individual property of any Muslim, but rather Bayt al-Mal belongs to those Muslims and is placed at the disposal of the Imam of Muslims so that it reaches the consumption of Muslims with justice.

The reason for the reprimand and censure of Mawla Ali (AS) is that Musqila divided a portion of Bait al-Mal among his own kinsmen, without obtaining permission from Imam Ali (AS) 4, with the intention that this division would be counted as their share from Bait al-Mal. In addition to this, Musqila buys a number of warriors who had been captured against Muslims in the Ahvaz region for one thousand dirhams from Bait al-Mal and sets them free, but does not pay the money of Bait al-Mal. As soon as Imam Ali (AS) becomes aware, he summons him and, while installment-based debt is assigned, forces him to 5 pay 2- Supervision over Bait al-Mal In sermon one hundred and nineteen, regarding the duties and responsibilities of the Islamic ruler, matters are stated, including that the collection of Bait al-Mal of Muslims should not be entrusted to others in such a way that the ruler has no information or supervision over it6, and it is not worthy of me that the army, the city, Bait al-Mal, the collection of land tax, and judgment among 1 Nahj al-Balagha.
