According to Alidoust, a professor of Kharij Fiqh and Usul Fiqh in Qom seminary, the reason can recognize the meaning of Sharia rulings by observing the frameworks and rules of conventional seminary ijtihad and also discover the purposes of Sharia by using the Quran and Narration. As a result, it is possible to understand the rulings in a system and body whose components are coordinated with each other. The book seeks to expand the accountability of the Sharia to more diverse issues by promoting the independent position of reason in deriving rulings and rereading it in a coherent system. | According to Alidoust, a professor of Kharij Fiqh and Usul Fiqh in Qom seminary, the reason can recognize the meaning of Sharia rulings by observing the frameworks and rules of conventional seminary ijtihad and also discover the purposes of Sharia by using the Quran and Narration.

According to the book of jurisprudence and reason, although the purposes of the Sharia have a strong role in deriving rulings, in this respect one should use reason in a systematic manner and do such a thing according to the texts expressing the purposes in the book and the Sunnah. In this regard, Alidoust believes that neglecting the purposes of the Sharia in deriving rulings causes fatwas to become illegal. | According to the book of jurisprudence and reason, although the purposes of the Sharia have a strong role in deriving rulings, in this respect one should use reason in a systematic manner and do such a thing according to the texts expressing the purposes in the book and the Sunnah.

In the current book, Alidoust emphasizes the necessity of simultaneously paying attention to both independent and non-independent applications of reason in deriving rulings. He also disagrees with following all rulings based on real interests and corruptions, and states that sometimes the enactment of a ruling may not be due to expediency or expediency, and that legislation itself causes the creation of posterior expediency. He also explains in detail the rule reason and the rule of Sharia and points out the opposition of jurists such as Seyyyed [[Abulqasem Khoei]] and [[Sheikh Morteza Ansari]] to this principle. Furthermore, he points to cases of the use of reason in discovering the meaning of rulings by them to show that the mentioned jurists relied on it in practice while theoretically opposed to the inherent rule. | In the current book, Alidoust emphasizes the necessity of simultaneously paying attention to both independent and non-independent applications of reason in deriving rulings.
