المقومات الشرعية لحفظ النفس الإنسانية: إطعام المضطر أنموذجا)‎

Abstract EN

This research tackles the subject of self-preservation according to Islamic Shariah, which is the second religious purposive totality / holism.

The legislator prohibits encroaching on it and considers that one of the major sins.

This prohibition comes in the texts of the honourable Book (Quran) and the Prophetic tradition (Sunnah).

The Legislator surrounds it with foundations that protect it from both sides of existence and nothingness, guarantees its continuity and survival, as well as guarding it against what causes embarrassment and hardship to it.

Islam's care for the human self, and its protection from destruction are reflected in the legislations and special rulings for those who are under the necessity of food.

If a person, because of hunger and fear of death, does not find food to eat, except prohibited items such as dead animals and the like, he, then, can eat the amount that may prevent harm from himself.

All this emphasizes the greatness of this legislation that preceded other legislations which claim the protection of Man and his rights.
