Abstract
The main hypothesis of the present paper is that the non-Muslim citizens of Iran enjoy numerous rights, just like those of the Muslim citizens. In the light of the said hypothesis the issue of blood money of the religious minorities is studied in the present paper. The victory of the Islamic Revolution and the preparation of the grounds for the implementation of social decrees of Islam encouraged the Muslim thinkers to have a deeper look at various issues.
One example is the blood money of the non-Muslim citizens. Hence the State Expediency Council decided to approve a law on the equality of the blood money of Muslims and non-Muslims. The present article is an attempt to study the jurisprudential fundamentals of the said law.
On the basis of the documents studied, the decision of the State Expediency Council is not only compatible with the requirements of the time but also with firm jurisprudential fundamentals.
