Abstract

Interaction with the People of the Book is necessary despite the many differences in beliefs and rulings, and it is not specific to living in an Islamic society. Although the origin of these distinctions is a difference in creed, it can only be resolved through jurisprudential rules and foundations. By using general principles and rules, Shiite jurisprudence has the capacity to remove many obstacles to these interactions in order to facilitate interfaith dialogue and social interactions. One of the main and problem-solving rules for this issue is the jurisprudential rule of obligation. It means to accept and make someone accept the rulings that the religious people believe in, even if it is against Shiite jurisprudence. The scope of this rule covers various jurisprudential subjects such as sale, lease, endowment, divorce, marriage, inheritance, and blood money. The rule is not limited to the differences between Shiites and other Islamic sects but also applies to the followers of other religions, especially the People of the Book. There is no doubt that by solving the obstacles of personal and social life in various fields, the ground for inter-religious dialogue and presenting the rich logic of the Quran and Islam is also provided. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the rule of obligation, its meaning, evidence, and examples as a law that opens the way for inter-religious social relations from various aspects. Hence, the present article deals with this topic
