Abstract

The questioning of various matters and issues, both in isolation and in the context of the nature of things, is not regarded as a condemnation and may be experienced by any individual. However, while some opinions within the field of jurisprudence condemn doubt, they also consider the punishment of the skeptical person in the prophecy to be death. The present study, in view of the fact that the prescription of punishment is contrary to the principle and requires a valid reason to be competent to allocate the general and applications of the "protection of the blood of men", has offered a critical analysis of such an attitude in a problem-oriented study conducted with a descriptive-analytical approach. The authors posit that since ethics precedes religion and serves as a metric for evaluating legal decisions, this interpretation of evidence is incongruent with moral intuitions and thus cannot be attributed to religion. Furthermore, this perspective aligns with the tenets of Imamiyyah (justice), which espouse the concept of intrinsic, rational, and autonomous moral goodness and moral evil.
