Abstract
In the context of the relationship between the rule of Nafi-e Sabīl (Negation of Means for Domination) and the rule of wafāi-e bi 'ahd (Fulfillment of Covenant) and the binding nature of contracts, considering various jurisprudential foundations, different standpoints have been proposed. The absence of a genuine conflict (ta‘āruḍ), the priority of fulfilling obligations, and the supremacy of the rule of Nafi-e Sabīl over other rules are among the most significant viewpoints in this regard. The interpretive role of the evidence for the Nafi-e Sabīl necessitates its supremacy. Determining the realization of Nafi-e Sabīl is contingent upon criteria such as ownership (tamaluk), humiliation (izlāl), and hardship (haraj), and it is subject to specification based on spatiotemporal conditions and its manifestation of in the cultural, political, economic, and military spheres, as well as in cases of conflict of interests (tazaḥum) and encounter with more important interests (maṣāliḥ) and the securing of more important benefits (manāfi'). Fulfilling the obligations contained in governmental contracts with other countries, based on the determination of a specific custom (‘urf khāṣṣ)- particularly towards increasing the level of domestic production and accelerating economic growth, which takes the form of participation in production and commendam partnership (muḍārabah)- and does not create a proprietary right for the counterparty, is given priority.
