Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the jurisprudence of Sama in the school of mystics and Sufis from the perspective of Imamiyyah jurisprudence, which is one of Sufism's rites, which consists of ecstasy (taste and desire) resulting from hearing a divine song, which causes the seeker to move. This ritual is generally held in a monastery, and most Sufis consider it permissible and even necessary by stating conditions, but a few Sufi elders do not consider it permissible. Many Sufi elders have tried to prove the permissibility of listening to music by referring to the Qur'an and hadiths, but in contrast to them, most of the Shia and Sunni jurists have examined listening to music in the context of singing and have held that it is not permissible. In this article, the author concluded that, firstly, Sufi hearing is one of the best practices of Sufi, and despite the opposition that exists even among the people of knowledge and Sufism, heresy is not considered as misguidance and reprehensible; Secondly, the absolute ratio of music, which is sometimes performed in the sama ceremony, and some types of music that are prohibited by Sharia, are public and private. And thirdly, the proportion of rhythmic and symbolic movements and dance, which are forbidden in the Holy Sharia as leho or revocation. The public and the private are absolute and only a part of those movements which cause the degradation of human beings from humanity to animality, are objectionable and definitely
