While most research focuses on the issue of humanitarian aid from an ethical and not mandatory viewpoint, this paper seeks to study humanitarian aid from the perspective of Islamic. In the international human rights system, with the extensive interpretation of these rights and adopting a positive approach, the only obligation to accept humanitarian aid has been proven. From a different perspective, this research seeks to examine the duty to provide humanitarian aid from in Islamic jurisprudence. The paper argues that the religion of Islam provides a positive approach to humanitarian aid. In this regard, the pre-Islamic principles of human dignity and justice and the Islamic obligation to preserve human life and the principle of “taliif alqulub” (winning hearts) by using “zakat” (religious tax), prove the obligation to provide humanitarian aid to all people exposed to natural and unnatural disasters, especially to non-Muslims.
