Background and Aim: Islam is a religion that, in addition to its revelatory aspect, has based its rules and regulations on rationalism and has always emphasized and respected the power of human reason. Our aim in the present study is to validate the principle of persuasion of public opinion in the Islamic judicial system from the perspective of jurisprudential principles.
Materials and Methods: This research is of theoretical type and the research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of data collection is library and has been done by referring to documents, books and articles.
Results: In general, Islamic law, both at the stage of enactment and at the stage of implementation, is based on the protection of interests and the repulsion of corruption, and in this way, public opinion must be satisfied with both stages; Otherwise, public confidence in the Islamic judiciary will decline.
Ethical considerations: In order to organize this research, while observing the authenticity of the texts, honesty and fidelity have been observed.
Conclusion: Demanding public opinion regarding the persuasiveness of judicial rulings and the procedure is not new and is not specific to our time, but has long been the focus of public attention, and society has usually resisted the acceptance of unjust votes. For this reason, the conduct of the Infallibles (AS) in the process of implementing the divine commands, both as a ruler and as an advisor to the rulers and judges, has always been based on convincing public opinion.
