As a narrative-revelatory knowledge, Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), which is responsible for the behavior of those competent to undertake religious obligations, examines individual and social norms. In addition to the holy Qur’an and traditions, fiqh also uses wisdom and consensus. Given that Shiite fiqh is an active jurisprudence, it can answer the questions regarding social conditions and contexts, and since in Islam the rulings are dependent on subject, with the change of subject and time, the rulings also change. Therefore, it is commonly argued that the rulings are changed based on time and place and can meet the various needs of individuals and societies.
