Rationalism in Contemporary Jurisprudence; Mulazeme Rule and its Applications

One of the crucial issues in the Islamic Jurisprudence, or perhaps, the most important one is the relation between Reason (‘aql) and Faith and the status of reason in inferencing Islamic verdict. Therefore, this study aims to illustrate the status of Mulazeme (correlation) rule (Whatever is ordered by reason, is also ordered by faith) in what is conceived by reason and religious verdict. In terms of explaining the origin of Mulazeme rule, this research concerns the Good and Bad, because the base of the Good and Bad in Imamieh is theological perspective of rational Good and Bad which has its own proponents and opponents. Finally, the present study puts Mulazeme rule into practice applying it in issues like religious trick on uses (Reba), selling weapons to infidels, selling the devastated goods in the case of entailment (Vaqf) Following library and descriptive-analytic research methodology, the study has gained theoretical bases proving that reason by itself, can reach the verdict, and the reached-rational verdict has its own religious requirement because it is based on general profits and losses that are not against religion. It is also proven that Mulazeme rule has great efficiency on reaching religious verdicts.
