Abstract

Associate professor, Islamic Institution for culture and Thought, Quran and Hadith department Protecting shari'a rulings or "Ḥarim-e Ḥimā" (protected area) rule is one of Fiqh general rules inferred from Quran and traditions (Al-sunna). With an intention of more certain protection from shari'a rulings, according to this rule, one can extend definite prohibition (Al-Hurma) from core point of the rulings to the surrounding area. This rule is also valid among custom and rationals. Accepting this rule can be a turning point in Fiqh Inference and legislature or policy making. Macro cultural and juridical policy making can benefit from the rule and manage risk points properly.
