In the world we live in, money is extremely important since it is a man’s basic necessity to survive, and money is needed for that. However, religion and the state impose some restrictions that limit a person to legal sources of earning money and forbid them from using illegal means. Nevertheless, corruption has spread across our society. It occurs on different scales and takes a number of forms. It is believed to negatively impact the economic growth of our country and deteriorate its overall social welfare. Numerous anti-corruption legislation have been put into effect to eradicate corruption since the birth of Pakistan. One of them is the National Accountability Ordinance, 1999. This paper aims to focus on the corruption and corrupt practices as mentioned in this Ordinance and analyze them from Shari‘ah’s perspective.
