Reviewing the Quality and the Framework of the Observance of the Wisdom and Logic of the Judgments in the Laws Based on Those Judgments
The present article is based on the fact that the context of legislature is different from that of the judgment of the religious order. Upon this fact, a question arises as what sort of relationship exists among the wisdom of the judgments, the aims and purposes of Sharia ( maqased al-Shari’a) and the objectives of religion with the requirements governing the rule of law in the field of Sharia or Islamic Law. According to the author, it is necessary in the legislative processes, prior to any legislative activity, the legislator be fully confident about the purposes as well as general objectives of the religion. In other words, if these goals and intentions conflict with the necessity of observing some of the other laws, one should act according to tazahom[1] in the law. These criterions are set in such a way that there is no clear and indisputable criterion between these two issues; nonetheless, it can be briefly mentioned that the consideration of the goals and the general objectives of the religion enjoys priority over the necessity of observing Mubāḥ [2], that is, changing mubah is easier than changing Ḥarām [3],or wajib[4]. This type of prioritization can be considered for many social realities. Indubitably, neglecting social realities in the context of legislation makes the goals of religion and the purposes of the law and also the wisdom of judgments get lost
