Necessity of equality in bloodshed in political jurisprudence with emphasis on the principles of Imam Khomeini (PBUH)

The blood feud between Muslims and non-Muslims is one of the most challenging issues today. Famous Imami jurists and some Sunni jurists believe that non-Muslims should be killed in response to the murder of Muslims, while they do not consider it permissible to kill a Muslim in response to the killing of non-Muslims. After the victory of the Islamic Republic, this inequality has been followed. Some contemporary jurists, with the support of their political views and human dignity, have considered the equality of non-Muslims with Muslims in blood.The present article, with a descriptive-analytical method, while criticizing the arguments of those who believe in inequality, has also evaluated the verdict based on Imam Khomeini's theory on the role of time and space in inference, and shows that in the present era, the issue of non-Muslim domination is ruled out. Non-Muslims live in an Islamic country as citizens and abide by the laws, therefore, based on political jurisprudence, the equality of bloodshed between non-Muslims and Muslims is the rule of Islam.
