Abstract

In his jurisprudential studies, Muḥaqqiq Nāʾīnī is distinguished by his precise rational and customary analyses of legislative issues. Among these is his examination of “ownership” and its customary conception, his explanation of the levels and hierarchies of ownership, and his investigation of its general and specific causes—particularly in the matter of inheritance. His aim was to elucidate the rational foundation underlying the institution of inheritance as one of the mechanisms for establishing ownership, and to demonstrate that “the heir functions as the legal representative of the deceased.”
This study examines Nāʾīnī’s view in light of the established principles of ijtihād, employing both evidentiary and methodological tools to analyse his reasoning. The objective is to achieve a comprehensive understanding of ownership and its causes within the framework of Islamic jurisprudence.
The main conclusion of this study is that Muḥaqqiq Nāʾīnī’s hypothesis concerning inheritance—based on the assumption that the heir stands in place of the deceased as his legal successor—is incomplete.

نظریة المحقّق النائینی فی التحلیل العقلائی لظاهرة التوریث نقد وتقویم

Abstract [العربیة]

یمتاز المحقّق النائینی ره فی بحوثه الفقهیة بتحلیلاته العُرفیة الدقیقة للاُمور التشریعیة ، من ذلک تحلیله للملکیة وتصویره العرفی لها وبیانه مستویات الملکیة ومراتبها ، وکذلک تعرّضه الى أسبابها بصورة عامّة ، وللإرث بصورة خاصّة ، فقد بیّن الحیثیة العقلائیة التی تکمن وراء جعل الإرث من الأسباب المفیدة للملکیة وأنّ الوارث اُقیم مقام المورِّث . وقد ناقشنا هذه الرؤیة فی ضوء المنهج الاجتهادی الاُصولی المتعارف بما یمتلک من وسائل إثبات وقواعد . والهدف هو السعی للوصول الى تصوّر متکامل حول الملکیة وأسبابها فی الفقه الإسلامی . وأهمّ النتائج التی وصلنا إلیها : عدم تمامیة الفرضیة التی قدّمها المحقّق النائینی ره للتوریث من إقامة الوارث مقام المورِّث .
