Inititives of Sheikh Morteza Ansari on the Principles of Jurisprudence

The writer of this Ph.d disseration has gone through various scholarly sources and materials and has consulted numerous articles and magazines, and has had several interviews with well-versed scholars in field. The overall conclusion of the writer is that the great Sheikh Ansari (God bless his soul) has followed the vivifying movement of Vahid Behbahani and has perfected it. The Sheikh has been against strict reliance on Hadith and he has been successful in maintaiaining the position of Ijtehad - the practice of religious jurisprudence - which has been stablized since then . The bountiful works of this chaste and godly scholar are used by the zealot students and researchers in the field. A few of his innovations are as follows: 1) The creation of a reasonable and correct relationship and order for the subjects of the science of religious jurisprudence; 2) The recognition and presentation of a true position for the principles of application; 3) The presentation of new discussions and coinig new titles such as the argument about Hukumant and Wurud; 4) The division of the principles of Mastery with regard to the cause of its previous established condition , into religious and rational ones; 5) Sheikhʹs unique notions in the science of religious jurisprudence such as his disbelief in the sinfulness of someone who has not commd any sin (although he is ready to do it), and his readiness to accept the sworn testimony of such a person. The Sheikh was indifferent to the honesty of the narrator of one single piece of Hadith, and acting in conformity with the narrated cosensus, and his very novel reasonings which he has offered and displayed during his conspicuous innovations. All the above cited points indicate that Sheikh has employed the principels of religious jurisprudence the utmost degree both in theory and practice.
