Analysis of the Realm and Domain of the “Rule of Authority” Regarding the Human’s Authority over His Body Organs
Journal Title: فقه و اصول - Year 2016, Vol 48, Issue 105
Abstract
With regard to the evidences of the rule, what is inferred from the Qur’an and the Tradition (sunna) about the matter of authority over possessions, is the impermissibility of other’s invasion of human self, which is totally unrelated to the assertion of one’s authority over oneself. The realm and the quality of human’s authority over his own organs are not known to the wise, as the relevant points about this matter are insufficient in biographical literature of the Prophet (sīra). In case that one considers the biographical literature of the Prophet as sufficient for proving the permissibility of every kind of man’s authority over his own organs, the issues such as the prohibition of “causing harm to oneself”, “killing oneself” and etc. cannot be applied to restrict this authority, for the proofs of the prohibition of such acts have no implications with respect to this authority, and cannot rule it out. Thus it will cause no flaws in the argument.
