Abstract

With the advancement of science and technology, new phenomena are emerging every day. These new issues, in turn, lead to new legal issues that have not existed in the past. One of these issues is gender reassignment, which is faced with the lack of prohibition in the Holy Quran and hadiths, as well as the silence of the legislator, but one of the most obvious characteristics of Imami jurisprudence is the ability and talent to participate in all scientific fields and new issues. Contemporary, according to the two principles of dynamism and definite belief in religious texts and sources, have kept the light of jurisprudence on in order to produce and spread the science of jurisprudence. In this article, we will discuss the jurisprudential principles of the legitimacy of gender reassignment and also analyze the effects of the legitimacy of gender reassignment on the legal order of the current issue in Iran.
