اجراي حدود در زمان غيبت

Execution of Punishments in the Age of Occultation

موضوع اجراي حدود در زمان غيبت را در دو سطح حكم اولي و حكم ثانوي مي‌توان بررسي كرد. براساس حكم اولي بايد به جواز بلكه وجوب اجراي حدود در زمان غيبت قايل شد، ولي براساس حكم ثانوي، مي‌توان طبق مصالحي كه حاكم شرع تشخيص مي‌دهد، به جايز نبودن اجراي برخي حدود كه در زمان و مكان خاصي ممكن است باعث وهن اسلام شوند، عقيده داشت.

Execution of punishments may be studied in two levels: primary judgment and secondary judgment. According to the primary judgment, one has to accept permissibility, and even necessity, of the execution of punishments in the age of Occultation. According to the secondary judgment, however, one may, in accord to some interests recognized by the religious judge, believe in impermissibility of execution of some punishments which may lead to insult to Islam in certain places and times.
