Restudying the Narrations Concerning the Rule of Discharge and Passage with an Approach to Reviving the Rule of Certainty

The rule of certainty has not been accepted by famous Islamic jurists and Usulis and they believe that there is no proof to consider it as a rule. Sheikh Ansari has even refused the validity of inferring this rule from the narrations of the discharge and passage field; Indeed, it is a misconception to believe that the content of the rule of certainty is the same as the rule of discharge and passage and conclude that it is possible to prove the former; since, in the rule of certainty, the precedence of certainty is the main element; while with regard to the rule of discharge and passage, the certainty element is not assumed and from this very aspect, a question arises whether it is possible to infer the cases of the individual's certainty from the absoluteness of some narrations of this area as well . In other words, is it possible to infer the precedence of doubt in comparison to the neglect and certainty case? If possible, although it may be said that the narrations may not independently prove the rule of certainty; given their absoluteness, they do not contradict its proof either. In this descriptive-analytical research, while examining the opinions on the topic and presenting three understandings in order to explain the meaning of the rule of certainty, using some narrations of the rule of discharge and passage area, the authority of the rule of certainty has been proven in the context of its minimum interpretation.
