Psychological Factors and the Effect of Anger on Fiqh Rulings

Abstract

Human beings, intricately designed by Allah Almighty, possess a unique blend of physical elements and emotions that distinguish them from other living beings, manifesting in their distinct human nature. Central to this distinctiveness is their rationality, endowed with superior virtues such as intellect and the capacity to think, imposing significant responsibilities upon them. These responsibilities are intertwined with various mental states, including psychological factors such as anger, which can significantly impact human actions. This research delves into the exploration conducted by Abdurrahman Caner in his book "Psychological Factors and the Effect of Anger on Fiqh Rulings," focusing on how anger can influence human transactions and acts of worship. The scope of anger's impact within Islamic law is extensive, leading to ongoing discussions on jurisprudential issues and solutions that arise from the effects of anger. This study specifically examines the concept, causes, and jurisprudential implications of anger on matters such as transactions and acts of worship.
