Abstract

The relationship between reason and sharia has been one of the most important and controversial issues among religious thinkers. The main question of this article is "What is the effect of Ibn Rushd on Ibn Maimon in using reason in Shari'a?" Some of the points that we achieved in this research indicate the deep influence of Ibn Rushd on Ibn Maimon in the discussion of reason and Shari'a. In various passages of his works, Ibn Rushd warns of the dangers of pure rationalism and restricts its use in sharia. He believes that the intellect alone cannot interpret and should be done by the people of Shari'a with the conditions explained in religion. Ibn Maimon also states that the use of reason in the sharia is conditional and believes that the Bible of Judaism sets the standard for the use of reason in the Shari'a, which is done by the people of the sharia. In applying the views of Ibn Rushd and Ibn Maimon, we encounter reasons that emphasize the influence of Ibn Rushd on Ibn Maimon in this issue.
