Reluctance to Practice Shari'ah from the Perspective of the Quran and Hadith
Mehdi Montazer Qa’em
Abstract:   (849 Views)
Reluctance in religion can be discussed in three dimensions: the embrace of religion, religiosity and the practice of religion. Citing the Quran and hadiths, many Islamic jurists consider the reluctance of people to practice Shari'ah rulings permissible, and others consider it impermissible. The many effects that each of these two views has on society increase the need to examine them and reach a reasoned view, which is the purpose of this article. Citing various Quranic and narrational arguments, we can say that, according to the Shari'ah, reluctance in practicing religion is not legitimate, and the arguments given to support it can be criticized. No one is allowed to make a Muslim who does not want to live a religious life in some cases follow a religious lifestyle reluctantly. Nor can a religious governing body establish reluctance Shari’ah in society relying on religion, except in such cases as the approved punishments that most people desire, which, if so, is at the discretion of the society and especially out of reluctance.
Keywords: reluctance in Shari’ah, religious freedom, compulsory Shari’ah, Quran and Hadith.
