Abstract

Mohammad Reza Hakimi is one of the few Iranian thinkers who has focused on research on Islamic justice. The purpose of this article is to take the first step in presenting Hakimi's theory of justice, ie to extract its foundations based on Hamid Parsania's basic methodology. Research in this theoretical framework requires the use of special applied methods. Library research methods for data collection, and content analysis methods for data analysis are appropriate methods. Hakimi's justice research has been influenced by personal spirits, personal lived experience, schools of thought, social status and political currents of his time. Although Hakimi's affiliation with the school of segregation has not been ineffective in choosing the subject, source, method and scope of his theorizing, his justice and research are more influenced by schools, thinkers and socio-political currents such as Islamic and non-Islamic Marxism that believe in the centrality and originality of economics in epistemology. They were community issues. The most important epistemological foundations of Hakimi's theory of justice are "monotheism of the source of justice", "separation of sources, teachings and research methods", "realistic total Ijtihad", "equality in creation" and "centrality of economy in religion and society".
