Abstract

The peaceful coexistence of citizens in an Islamic society can appear in many forms, one of which is the provision of appropriate bicultural opportunities. Facilitating the affairs of religious minorities’ places of worship is one example of this. However, some critics may portray the granting of permission to non-Muslims, in this case, to be incorrect as it relies on socio-cultural influences or the illusion of cultural domination. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt both rational approaches by examining the theoretical contexts of the discussion and to prevent going to extremes by explaining the position of Islamic sharīʾah in this area. By critically examining the jurisprudential opinions and relying on documentary analysis, the present study has considered the Islamic judge in the agreement based on the interests of the Islamic society to have the necessary and sufficient authority in this regard while rejecting the basis of prohibition and its evidence and based on the principle of freedom of thought and action of citizens in Islamic society. This study examines this problem by presenting the approving proofs for this opinion with a permissible approach and solves it. Therefore, this study first rescinds the principle of prohibition (aṣl al-ḥurmat) in this issue by scrutinizing the four main approving proofs of prohibition in each of the hypotheses of construction, maintenance, and restoration through rejecting the evidence, then relying on the two principles of ibāḥah (permissibility( and concomitance of permission to the object with permission of its essential necessities, it considers the recognition of expediency as the main basis in resolving this problem by the Islamic judge in the circle of the freedom of action and the principle of thought.

بناء معابد الأقلیات الدینیة وصیانتها وترمیمها فی فقه الإمامیة

Abstract [العربیة]

هناک أشکال مختلفة للتعایش السلمی المشترک بین المواطنین فی المجتمع الإسلامی، ومنها توفیر الظروف المناسبة للحیاة الثقافیة الاجتماعیة للأقلیات الدینیة، ومن نماذج تجلی هذا الأمر تسهیل الأمور المتعلقة بالأماکن العبادیة لهذه الأقلیات.
ومع ذلک یمکن لبعض المنتقدین واستنادا إلى التأثیرات والعوامل الثقافیة الاجتماعیة أو وهم السلطة الثقافیة أن یرفضوا فکرة السماح لغیر المسلمین بالعمل على بناء أماکنهم العبادیة الخاصة، وعلیه یغدو من الضروری دراسة الأسس النظریة لهذا الموضوع، والمساهمة بذلک فی اتخاذ سیاسات حکیمة فی هذا الشأن، ومن جهة ثانیة الحیلولة دون الإفراط والتفریط فی هذا المجال عبر التبیین الصحیح لموقف الشریعة الإسلامیة.
یتناول البحث الحالی دراسة آراء الفقهاء دراسة نقدیة معتمدا على تحلیل الأدلة، ویعارض مبنى النهی والتحریم وأدلته، ویثبت أنّ الحاکم الإسلامی یمتلک الصلاحیات اللازمة والکافیة فی هذه المسألة، وذلک بناء على أصل حریة النشاط والفکر للمواطنین فی المجتمع الإسلامی وبما یتوافق مع مصالحه، ویقدم البحث الأدلة التی تدعم هذا القول، ویتناول المسألة ویعالجها وفق منهج الرخصة، وبناء علیه بدأ البحث بنقد دقیق للأدلة الأربعة الأساس التی یتمسک بها القائلون بالحرمة فی کلّ من فروض البناء والصیانة والترمیم، ویثبت عدم صحة أصل الحرمة فی المسألة عبر نقض أدلتها، ومن ثمّ یثبت أنّ المبنى الأساس فی حلّ هذه المسألة هو تشخیص الحاکم الإسلامی للمصلحة فی إطار أصل حریة النشاط والفکر للمواطنین.
