Abstract

The issue of dignity, even if it is merely an important and influential issue in ethics, needs to be included in the process of issuing religious and legal rulings for practical manifestation; Jurisprudence, having rich resources in this field, has not dealt with this issue independently and coherently; Existing jurisprudential rules usually have a negative aspect and their meanings mean minimal dignity and maintaining the status quo; There is no jurisprudential rule that invites and obliges all individual and social strata of society to strive for the comprehensive promotion of dignity. Due to this gap, the present basic research has dealt with the four categories of provisions, documents, adaptations and exceptions of the rule with the aim of designing the rule of dignity and by inferring and analyzing the content of the evidence. According to this rule, any action that the dignity of the Muslim individual and society is subject to is obligatory and is forbidden in the face of any action that leads to their humiliation. This rule, with its broad subject matter, plays a decisive role in the protection of spiritual dignity and, at the macro level, preserves and promotes the dignity and independence of Muslims and society.
