Abstract
The term honor, despite its common use, in jurisprudence and Islamic legal texts and Iranian laws, a single and clear concept of it has not been presented, which causes ambiguity in determining the rights and duties of individuals; Because abbreviating words naturally also summarizes the sentence, and as a result, applicable rules may be disturbed and not implemented due to the abbreviation of one of the words and its ambiguity. This article aims to conceptualize and examine the different uses of honor in Islamic jurisprudence and legal texts and Iranian laws in a descriptive-analytical way. By examining the various uses of this term in the mentioned texts, this research has come to the conclusion that there is no comprehensive and specific definition of the range of people that this term includes, but it is certain from the examination of the various uses that it is applied to relatives. The relative and causal females of a person such as a person's wife, mother, sister and daughter; Although in some applications, it is also applied to male relatives, but its inclusive circle has not been specified in detail. Also, the meaning of the concept of defamation is an illicit sexual act; However, in some applications, other behaviors such as touching out of lust and... and even inappropriate sexual relationships with people are also considered as dishonor.
