Abstract

The Ash’arites consider the existence of intentions and ends to be completely ruled out in divine actions, but the judiciary believes that the Shari’a rulings are subject to real interests and corruptions. The important question that arises here is whether the interests and corruptions necessarily lie in the belonging of the duties or whether the principle of the duties must be expedient and corrupt, even if the belongings of the duties have no criteria? Celebrities have presented the argument in a way that confirms the first aspect. On the contrary, some believe that the task should include criteria. This criterion can be in the possession of the command and prohibition or the command and prohibition itself. Another question is whether there is no distinction between worship and transaction in the statement that the human intellect is not able to understand the criteria of the rulings in order to generalize and assign the rulings based on the apparent causes and suspicious discoveries? In this research, which has been done analytically, an attempt has been made to provide an answer to these two questions by considering the appropriateness of the news of Muhammad ibn Sinan from Imam Reza PBUH, assuming the authenticity of the document, and regardless of other rational and narrative arguments.
