Since the 1990s, in the context of states' reconfiguration, beneficence has become a powerful ethic and repertoire of action that spans all social spaces. A growing number of actors resort to this notion while claiming to act for 'the good' of the 'poor,' the 'weak 'or 'the dependent'. In this chapter, we argue that the study of beneficence, understood as a socio-historically constructed realm of encounters and conflicts, offers a stimulating point of entry into understanding contemporary social policies in the Islamic world. We first highlight the complex and ever changing relations between the 'doing good' actors and practices and the State and
then explore the multiple logics that their everyday interactions may generate.
