This paper investigates the effect of Islamic religious teachings on avoiding squander (ESRAF) and charity on the consumption behavior of individuals and distribution of income.This research examines the effect of these teachings in two parts. In the first and theoretical section, the neoclassical assumptions of consumer behavior are explained before the influence of religious teaching and after the influence of religious teaching.In the first and theoretically, neoclassical assumptions explain consumer behavior before the influence of religious teachings and after the influence of religious teachings.The analysis of the effect of this religious teaching of avoidance of squandering (ESRAF) shows that the practice of this religious teaching leads to a change in the pattern of consumption and avoidance of squander (ESRAF) in believers.Then, in the second section, we study the effects of charity on income distribution in Islamic society in the form of econometric model.For this purpose, the distribution function of the national income of the provinces of Iran is estimated by the GMM method in which the distribution of national income is a function of the charity variable and other control variables, namely, provincial per capita income, unemployment rate, tax revenue from GDP, the percentage of government expenditures in the province.
