Abstract

In Shi’a jurisprudence, conditions have been expressed for a jurisprudent, as a reference of the public, which are not limited to scientific and epistemological properties, i.e., some non-epistemological properties are also mentioned for authorities. Are these conditions embedded or based on the epistemic results that they have? If the epistemic influence of these factors is proven, considering the above criteria, is it possible to revise the conditions of authority? It seems that considering the effect of these conditions in beliefs, this can be said such factors prevent referrals to those who purposely create distortions in jurisprudence, and also prevent the jurisprudent from being influenced by these factors, getting away from the truth and going towards false beliefs. Investigating the role of various factors on the knowledge of the jurisprudents introduces a new insight into the determination and enrichment of the conditions of authorities and authentication.
