The Realm of Freedom… A. Mirzaei and S.H. Abedian (37
responsible for his own
destiny. (Ref: Quran, 52: 21;
Ibid, 74: 38)
So the right is always
associated with the limit,
wherever there is talk of a
right, there should also be a
talk of a limit. The owner of
the right must also bear
responsibility; Because if this
is not the case, the fruit of
human freedom will be
nothing but the destruction of
the oppressed classes.
(Sobhani, 2005: 91)
According to what has been
said: From the viewpoint of
the Infallible imams school,
whatever is against the eternal
happiness of man is against
the freedom of man, and that
is the limit of freedom. And
whatever is contrary to the
eternal happiness of man will
also be contrary to his
worldly happiness.
In other words, anything
that destroys the conditions of
freedom (the necessary
existence for freedom) or
anything that creates an
obstacle in the path of human
growth and perfection and
reaching happiness, is the
limit of human freedom, and
man has no right to go beyond
it. and prevent himself or
others from reaching
happiness or destroy his own
or others' happiness.
Based on this, man has a
duty to protect his freedom
and that of others, so that the
way of violation of freedom is
blocked.
Shia thinkers and jurists
have raised a debate under the
title of freedom and its related
issues in the contemporary era
and have considered it as one
of the established jurisprudential
issues. (Hashemi Shahroudi,
2005, Vol. 1: 116-117)
