Jurisprudential research on learning the required precepts by discerning minors

Before the full age, learning required jurisprudential orders is obligatory. Meanwhile, given the exact record of the birthday hour in the modern period, an important question arises: Is it obligatory on the discerning minors who reach the full age in some minutes before the dusk and have no any opportunity to learn precepts of purity and prayer, to become familiar with these orders before the full age? If so, how can this contradiction between its necessity and the tradition of " rofe`a al-qalam" and also the consensus of lack of obligatory order as to minor, be resolved? According to Mohaqqeq Na`eini, this learning is obligatory on a discerning minor. However, many of his disciples and contemporaries have denied this necessity. This study is written in order to response to this question. While this paper is rooting this conflict as a reaction to Sahib Fosul`s ideas that have not had any precedent, it concludes that a discerning child has no religious duty to learn these precepts, and the hadith of " rofe`a al-qalam" has priority over the rational evidence of necessity for its gratefulness nature.
