Abstract

During different historical periods, a significant number of elements and components of the mosque, such as the Minaret with different appearances and bodies, have been displayed and used in mosques and it seems that it has become an integral part of the mosque over time. Architects, researchers and scholars have expressed a variety of analyzes, theories and interpretations with different views on the position of the Minaret in the architecture of mosques. However, there is no mention of the attitude of the Twelver Shiite jurisprudence regarding the position of the Minaret in the architecture of mosques, and this issue is still facing ambiguous points. While the Minaret has been used in mosques for centuries, some scholars consider single-Minaret mosques as a symbol of Sunnis and mosques with two Minarets as a symbol of the Shiite religion. This research tries to study the necessity of the Minaret in the architecture of mosques in the attitude of Shiite jurisprudence. The rules of Shiite jurisprudence of the Twelve Imams are obtained through research in the Qur’ an, Sunnah, Consensus and reasoning. Since it is not possible to study all the sources mentioned in this research, studying the Qur’ an and the Consensus will be sufficient. The present research is fundamental in terms of subject matter and is considered qualitative from the perspective of research method. The data collection method of the research is through library and data analysis method is of content analysis type. The results of this study show the commonalities and differences in the attitude of the Qur’ an and Consensus on the necessity of requiring a Minaret in mosques. According to the analysis, interpretation and elaboration of verses 17 and 18 of Surah Tawbah (Quran) and analyzing the content of the attitude of contemporary and non-contemporary (i. e. who are not at the same time as contemporary) authorities and jurists of the Shiite religion (Consensus) regarding the necessity of Minaret in the architecture of mosques, In general, it can be said that from the viewpoint of the Qur’ an and non-contemporary jurists, the Minaret does not have the necessary harmony with the architecture of mosques. In contemporary jurists’ attitude, there is nothing wrong with the Minaret in mosques; but the Minarets or tall Minarets in the mosques are considered disapproved.
