Abstract :

Inviting non-Shiites to the Shiite religion as one of the duties that is concentrated in the minds of the general Shiites, has a ruling from the obligatory Shari'a rulings. There are two types of narrations on the issue of permissibility or non-permissibility of calling to Shiism. Most of these narrations forbid calling to Shiism. But regardless of the narrations in this chapter, is it possible to make a rational argument to prove the necessity of calling to Shiism? The purpose of this research is to criticize and examine the intellectual grounds for proving the necessity of calling to Shiism. In this article, the researcher has explored the rational aspects that can be proposed to prove the necessity of calling to Shiism with a descriptive-analytical method. From the analysis of the data, it was concluded that calling to Shiism is an example of corruption; And tin, the material of corruption, is intellectually good, and this intellectual good is connected with the Islamic obligation. Other issues that can be raised in this issue were disputed.
