Abstract: This is a revised and enlarged version of a dissertation on the subject presented by the author at the Edinburgh University in 1973 for his Ph.D. degree. The author, like other researchers, complains of paucity of material on the subject analysed and con structed in one place, hence the need for going to the original sources. The author considers the institution of Bait-al-Mal, the Exchequer, as the focal point of the economic functions of the Islamic State - referred to by early writers as amwril or khara, and discusses the heads of income and expenditure, as treated by Hadith and Islamic Law under the heading: Ghanima, Khums, Zaktit, Jizya, Kharrij and extra-religious taxes.
