Manifestations of Justice: Principles in Islamic Jurisprudence

The principles delineated in Al-Mabsut reveal a profound commitment to establishing justice—an essential pillar within Shia theology. The author stresses the importance of intention (niyyah) in legal acts, underscoring that the moral quality of one’s actions is paramount in administering justice. This emphasis on ethics prompts a question: Can one truly achieve justice without understanding the broader ethical implications that underpin legal decisions?

Furthermore, the work expounds on the principles of equity and fairness, positing that justice is not merely a legal obligation but a moral imperative that resonates within the heart of Shia consciousness. The discussion reflects a broader theological perspective—a vision of law that is not simply punitive, but restorative and rehabilitative, offering a comprehensive understanding of the human condition.
