Abstract

The fate of the Hodoud  in the Time of the Twelfth Imam Absence has always been a concern among the recent and precedent Islamic Jurisprudents. From the theological standpoint, if one considers the Imam Absence an emergent situation, the Hodoud  will not enforced and the Islamic Velayat of the Jurisprudents will obviated. If one regards the Absence as an expedient policy, however, the Hodoud could not be obviated. Therefore, some seemingly pursue the complete formation of the Islamic society as a part of the important governmental commands (a maximum perspective). Others intend to safeguard the society against the mischief and evils through supporting the enforcement of the punishments as well as considering the principle of social justice.
