The economic aspect of the Nafy-E-Sabil Rule means the lack of economic dominance of foreigners. In order to implement the Nafy-E-Sabil Rule in the Islamic government, special attention should be paid to the economy and its development. One of the most important foundations and objectives of economy in the theocracy is the effort to achieve self-sufficiency and cut off economic dependence on other countries. The result of economic domination is domination in other fields such as the political and cultural fields, and a country that is politically and culturally dominated does not act independently in the field of policy making and law enforcement, and this lack of independence provides the ground for failure in all fields, and such an issue is inconsistent with Islamic teachings because the Holy Qur'an clearly and strongly denies any domination of the infidels over the Muslims.

In economic development, some kind of economic dependency may also be created, which is somewhat inevitable in today's economy. What is important is the lack of foreign economic dominance, and the only way to deal with this issue is to support domestic production and establish balanced economic and trade relations with the outside world.
