Revisiting the authority of “alidjma almadraki” (idjma with known origins)
Journal Title: فقه و اصول - Year 2016, Vol 48, Issue 106
Abstract
Non-authority of “alidjma almadraki” (idjma with known origins) is a topic frequently raised in the Usulis’ contemporary literature. In this paper, the authority of “alidjma almadraki” has been studied through revisiting this idjma since the introduction of idjma in general by Shia scholars up to the present. The results of this study show that based on all foundations raised to prove the authority of idjma (hiss (intuition), lutf (benign), hads (surmise), etc.), one may assert that such idjma has authority or at least plays an important role in determining the minor premise of apparent meaning of sharia evidences and compensating for imperfection of their indication. Therefore, one may not consider idjma invalid and exclude it in deducting sharia percepts merely because its origins are known.
