Many of the constraints and principles of warfare and humanitarian law in the current era are in Islamic religious law, including the Shia texts, but there are better and more humane. Shia scholars are discussed in this case, but not independently rather sporadically in jurisprudence jihad sections. However, it cannot be denied that in the Shia texts and heritage topics such as "al-Sayr" or "Islamic law of war" have not been written independently. This is mainly because in the Shia community in the history of Islam Due to political conditions and lack of access to government, except on a few occasions, and due to social oppression, jihad sections have limited to the traditions of government orders such as legitimacy of jihad and war in the priod of absence, necessity and obligation of jihad in the priod of absence …, And Finally, limited to a brief mention in the margin to such legal issues as properties and booties of rebels (Ahl albaghi), treatment of civilian prisoners of war in Dar al-Harb, prisoner’s condition, booties women and children ….,This study aims to review and brief search on the issue in Shia religious texts. In this regard, it was firstly clear that the Shia cultural heritage about principles of warfare, although sporadically, were full of human rules and behavioral restrictions on the wars. Secondly, an overview of treaties and provisions of humanitarian law and the law of war at present show that provisions of the war in Islam and in the Shia thought in comparison with the laws and rules of humanitarian law and international treaties not only compatible but is based more on the moral and humanitarian considerations.
