Abstract The Infallible Imams are role models not only in explaining divine teachings, but also in methods. Therefore, knowing their strategies in facing doubts has importance and priority. This research seeks to discover the methodical strategies of Imams in answering theological doubts. The research hypothesis is "the possibility of achieving the mentioned strategies". By explaining the methods of the infallible Imams in facing doubts, new horizons and strategies will be discovered. In this library research, the most important narrative sources are referred to and the theological narrations of the infallible Imams are extracted and analyzed. The findings show that the most important strategy of the imams in answering doubts is the argumentative strategy. In terms of the form of the argument, in most cases, they have used "a posteriori argument " when facing ordinary people, and " a priori argument " when facing scientists. In terms of argument materials, they have used a priori premises in the answers related to theology, sensible things in the proofs of God's existence, experiences in the doubts in guide studies; data acquired by transmission in inter-religious debates, and conjectures in jurisprudential and narrative doubts. The infallibles have used a priori data in attitudinal issues.
