Abstract

The rule of wasting is one of the most important rules by which issues related to liability (ḍamān) and civil liability in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and law are resolved. In each civil law and the Islamic Penal Code, this rule is considered as a basis and source of liability. At first glance, arguing for this rule does not seem difficult. However, a careful logical and realistic analysis shows that this requires various prerequisites. The most important challenge and issue in enforcing this principle is to explain the concept of "wasting" and in particular to provide a more objective and quantitative criterion for it. The objective of this study is to solve this problem through a descriptive and analytical method. Our jurisprudential and legal literature in this regard is not as big as the scientific literature of principles such as "ḍamān Yad (liability of possession)" and "negation of harm". However, the findings of the study suggest that the great Imamiyah jurists have made valuable efforts to standardize and regulate this rule.  The evaluation and examination of these perspectives will lead to the development of our jurisprudential and legal literature in this field. Some believe that with the approval of the new Islamic Penal Code, wasting as "being able to be documented" has been accepted as the sole basis of the civil liability for a crime, but the author of this article does not agree with the adequacy of this view and believes that the necessary elements for the realization of conventional documentation should also be explained in a clear way.
