Abstract

By following the works of Shia jurists, various aspects of expediency are raised, including the concept of "social expediency". The meaning of this concept, which is opposite to the individual interest, is the interests that exist in the field of society and have examples such as establishing order and proper management of society, promoting the level of education and culture in Islamic society and things like that. Examination of jurisprudential texts shows that although individual interest has an effective role in legislating the rulings, but in the position of conflict with social interests, it is usually overshadowed and in the view of Sharia, typical and social interests always take precedence over individual interests. Nevertheless, the important thing is that every decision or discretion cannot be classified as social expediency. According to Shia jurists, social expediency has rules and criteria that define and revise its boundaries from other issues. In this article, an attempt has been made to explain the limits, criteria and indicators of the concept of social expediency. It should be presented in Shiite jurisprudence in order to limit or block the possible abuses.
