پژوهشي در ارتداد

A Study about Apostasy

اين نوشتار با بهره‏گيرى از منابع دينى و يافته‏هاى پژوهشگران و با دو روش عقلى و نقلى، ارتداد در اديان، به ويژه در اسلام را بررسى مى‏كند. ارتداد حكمى فقهى ـ كلامى است و شامل افرادى مى‏شود كه با هدف سست جلوه دادن مبانى دينى، اظهار ارتداد كرده و از دين خارج شده باشند. مهم‏ترين يافته اين پژوهش ترسيم عقلانى بودن حكم ارتداد از ديدگاه فقهى و اعتقادى است و در آن بر لزوم پاى‏بندى به مقرّرات دينى و اجراى احكام اسلامى، آزادى عقيده و احترام به كرامت انسانى تأكيد شده است. به نظر نويسنده هرگونه سؤال و انتقاد در چارچوب مقرّرات، حق مخاطب است و بايد به آن پاسخ داده شود. اما سست جلوه دادن مبانى دينى و به سخره گرفتن آن، امرى خارج از چارچوب آموزه‏هاى دينى و عقلى است.

This essay, which is concerned with apostasy in religions, especially in Islam, makes use of religious texts and researchersʹ inferences and relies on intellectual and transmitted knowledge. Apostasy is a jurisprudentialfiqhi)-theological precept which includes those who proclaim apostasy and dissociation from faith with the aim of undermining religious principles. The main finding of this research is depicting the rationality of the judgment about apostasy from the jurisprudential (fiqhi) and doctrinal viewpoint, meanwhile emphasis is laid on the necessity of complying with religious regulations, executing Islamic injunctions, freedom of thought and respect for human dignity. The author maintains that the audience has the right to ask or criticize within the framework of regulations and the audienceʹs questions should be answered. Undermining religions principles or talking mockingly about them does not come within the framework of religious regulations and is irrational.
