A comparative study of the similarities and differences between ‘assisting’ and ‘causing’ within two rules: the prohibition of ‘assistance with sins’ and ‘causation’
Journal Title: فقه و اصول - Year 2016, Vol 47, Issue 103
Abstract
Assistance with sins’ and ‘causation’ are two important jurisprudential rules with crucial implications. ‘Assisting’ and ‘causing’ as derived from those rules have a lot in common. At the same time, what their differences are seems to be an important issue. The subtle differences between the two sometimes lead to confused identifications and examples of each might be mistaken with the other. We have examined the differences between the two within five areas. These are as follows: discussion of centrality or non-centrality of each, sobriety of the assistant as condition or non-condition, intention as a condition for the truth of the two issues, inclusion of the two rules in the context of abandonment or non-abandonment (continuity), and expression of obligatory and situational rulings on ‘assisting’ and ‘causing.’
