Comparative analysis of Reservation according to the sources of Islamic denominations

Taghiyeh i.e. dissimulation is a conventional act approved by Islam and introduced as an original Islamic concept. Dissimulation means preserving and guarding; and in jurist terminology it means concealing reality from others or replacing non-real instead of the real in order to save something more important than the real issue. Legitimacy of dissimulation can be deduced according to the Quranic verses such as verse 28 Surah Al-e Omran and verse 106 Surah Nahl. Some people have described dissimulation as a concept fabricated by Shiite religion and considered it as the Shiite beliefs; however, by referring to the Quranic exegesis and Feqhi books of Islamic denominations, it is observed that the entire Islamic denominations have authenticated it and acted accordingly. Of course, it should be mentioned that the non-Shiite scholars have limited application of dissimulation to the time when there is an extreme pressure or situation; nevertheless, Emamiyeh scholars, such as Imam Khomeini have divided dissimulation to different classifications and allowed some classes, e.g. Modatati dissimulation even when there is no extreme situation.
