Legal challenges against the principle of legality of crime and punishment in Iran in the light of Imamiyah jurisprudence standards

Since Islam is a religion of mercy, punishing people without informing them of his commands and orders is against the mercy and dignity that God has placed in the nature of mankind. The conclusion is that in Islamic jurisprudence, especially Imamiyah jurisprudence, many principles and foundations are available to the people from the side of the jurists and their inferences from jurisprudential sources regarding the prohibition of the punishment without notification and notice, such as "shamefulness of punishment without the declaration of law", "the presumption of innocence" etc. The purpose of this notice in modern criminal law is to ensure the peace of mind and preserve the human dignity of accused persons, so that in the shadow of this principle, on the one hand, they will not be condemned without reason and only based on suspicion and the other hand, their punishment under the disobedience of the judges should not be more than what they deserve. The scope and content of the principle of notifying the obliges of their obligations to punish them in Imamiyyah jurisprudence are certainly clearer and more comprehensive than the principle of legality of crime and punishment because the principle of stating the obligation is not only about issuing it but also about receiving it while in law, the principle of awareness is placed on the issue of law. In the criminal law of Iran, although this principle has been accepted in principle despite the rich source of Islamic jurisprudence, in several cases, especially in the Islamic Penal Code approved in 2013 and the regulations of the courts and special clerical courts approved in 1990 amended in 2005, it has been conspicuously ignored
