The issue of Imamate is one of the most fundamental principles of Shia belief; because the necessity of the immortality of religion after the Prophet (PBUH) requires theoretical and practical protection of the teachings of the Shari'a, and this is possible through the explanation and interpretation of religion by innocent Imam (AS)(Imam Masoom). It is obvious that considering the position of Imamate in religious teachings, there are always people trying to profit from this institution and therefore, the false claimants of the Imamate have emerged from the first centuries of Islam, and this has been reflected in the society today in the form of the claimants of Mahdism. Regardless of the pathology and analysis of these currents from different dimensions, what the present study seeks to explain is what is the approach of Imami criminal jurisprudence to the claimants of Imamate and Mahdism. The necessity of research is that so far no independent research has been done in this field and the Imami jurists have not spoken about it except rarely. The present study, which has been described in a descriptive-analytical manner and with reference to library sources, after examining the probabilities in the problem, has concluded that if evidence such as apostasy (irtidad) and corruption on earth (Ifsad fi al-Arth) is proven, it is possible that the false claimants sentenced to a certain sharia punishment; Otherwise, their punishment will be a kind of Ta'zira , and the Islamic government will determine the punishment of such a person by considering different aspects.
