Abstract

The matter of art and beauty has been deliberated upon as one of the inherent aspects of human life in various religions, accordingly, a main part of art in diverse societies has advanced around religious art. An imperative share of the history of Shiism has been devoted to the confrontation of Akhabri and fundamentalist scholars. The effects of this confrontation are generally beyond the scope of view and have manifested themselves in various forms in historical periods. Each of these sects have at times attempted to isolate the other party in the field of thought and action, and at times due to the necessities have reached coexistence. With the rise of the Qajar dynasty, the fundamentalists and the followers of the Akhbari opinion returned to politics after a long period of segregation and renewed previous rivalries. However, the confrontation between the fundamentalists and the Akhbaris was their last serious opposition. Art and beauty are one of the vital features of society and as a central issue, study in this field is considered significant from the viewpoint of Akhbari and Ijtihad Islamic jurisprudence. This research is accomplished via a descriptive and analytical method by relying on library data. The findings of the study indicate that the fundamentalists and the Akhbaris both had a positive and supportive view of the issue of art, its dimensions and beauty, considering the basic principles of Islam and the Hadiths remained from the Imams.
Research aims:
1. Studying art from the perspective of the principles of Akhbari and Ijtihad Islamic jurisprudence
2. Studying beauty from the perspective of the principles of Akhbari and Ijtihad Islamic jurisprudence
Research questions:
1. How is art defined from the point of view of the principles of Akhbari and Ijtihad Islamic jurisprudence?
2. How is beauty defined from the point of view of the principles of Akhbari and Ijtihad Islamic jurisprudence?
