Abstract
A pauper or a broke individual is someone unable to meet their financial obligations and, under certain conditions, is prohibited from possessing property. They face legal consequences such as being deprived of their property, having their property allocated to their creditors, and even incarceration. This research aims to examine the relevant rulings in Imamiyah jurisprudence. Since some of the rulings concerning paupers, such as imprisonment, are subject to debate, a comprehensive investigation of pauper-related rulings and their documentation is essential. The findings of this study indicate that contrary to the viewpoint of certain jurists, such as Muhaddith Bahrani, who dismiss the prohibition of financial seizures on paupers based on specific arguments, creditors have the right to request that the indebted individual be declared as broke under the conditions specified by the Islamic legal authorities and prohibit them from possessing property. Furthermore, considering the division of pauper activities into valid and invalid categories, some actions of paupers are legally permissible. This research has been conducted using library sources and a descriptive-analytical method.
