Abstract

Celebrating Norūz has long been a matter of contention for the residents of Iran’s civilizational sphere. But after the emergence of Islam, the religious decree (ḥukm) of celebrating Norūz has always been debated among scholars and especially jurists. What has been said about this decree so far is general rejection or general acceptance without mentioning all the possible decrees regarding this matter and determining the correct and accurate decree from these possible decrees. For the first time in this study, by stating the four possible decrees regarding Norūz and referring to the ḥadīths found in the sources of two major sects (Shī’ah and Sunnī) and the general religious rules, the exact decrees of this matter are expressed. These four rulings are; Norūz is a religious ‘Īd, like ‘Īd al- Fiṭr, Aḍḥā and Ghadīr, Norūz is a day on which some actions are recommended without being considered an ‘Īd, such as the first day of the month or the last day of the month, any attention to the Norūz in the aforementioned ways is reprehensible, and religion (sharʻ) does not have any opinion on any of the aforementioned forms of Norūz. Finally, in this research, the fourth opinion is strengthened.

الحکم الشرعی للاحتفال بالنوروز بالنظر إلى المصادر الحدیثیة للفریقین

Abstract [العربیة]

منذ العصور القدیمة تحتفل الشعوب الإیرانیة بعید النوروز، وبعد ظهور الإسلام والتشریعات الإسلامیة کان الحکم الشرعی للاحتفال بالنوروز محط مناقشة المتشرعین وخاصة الفقهاء منهم.

ما قیل عن هذه الظاهرة حتى الآن هو الرفض العام أو القبول العام دون ذکر جمیع الأحکام المتصورة فی هذا الشأن، وتعیین الحکم الصحیح والدقیق من بین هذه الأحکام المتصورة.

لأول مرة یتم فی هذا الدراسة تبیین الحکم الدقیق لهذه المسألة وذلک بذکر أربعة فروض متصورة فی حکم عید النوروز، وعبر الرجوع إلى الأحادیث الموجودة فی مصادر الفریقین والقواعد العامة الشرعیة.

والفروض الأربعة هی:

1- النوروز عید شرعی کأعیاد الفطر والأضحى والغدیر.

2- النوروز یوم یُستحب فیه بعض الأعمال، دون أن یعتبر عیداً، کیوم أول الشهر القمری أو آخره.

3- مذمومیة الاهتمام بالنوروز بأی شکل من الأشکال.

4- لم تبدی الشریعة رأیا فی أی من الأشکال المذکورة أعلاه حول النوروز .

وأخیرا فإن هذه المقالة تعزز الاحتمال الرابع وفقا لأحادیث الفریقین والقواعد الفقهیة العامة.
