Abstract

One of the important and difficult issues that arise in the figh and Islamic law is the distinction between cause and other terms close to it, which jurists and lawyers do not differentiate between them in the definition. In many cases, these terms were brought together instead of each other and in some cases, and this has been the source of many mistakes and disagreements. Based on the studies conducted in this study, it can be said that the cause is something that if it is not, no damage will be caused, and although the existence of the cause is involved in creating the cause, so that if it is not the cause, the cause will not have an effect, but Cause is not the whole cause, but part of the cause of the complete cause. In contrast, the purpose of the cause is the last component of the complete cause that occurs immediately after the existence of the effect (damage) and means the condition of the factor that by causing the cause alone is the cause of the occurrence of the cause of something and interference with Directly or indirectly in creating nothing. But the conclusion of this thing depends on it. Also, this research shows that this term has been borrowed from the science of philosophy and has entered jurisprudence, principles and jurisprudence, but in philosophy, it has not been considered in a new and distinct meaning from its literal meaning and all applications mean very close.
