Ma`rifat

"Inquisition" is a concept that has its roots in the history of medieval Christianity. This theological concept has also been introduced into the religion of Islam. Jurists have, with documented evidence, considered the first ruling of the Inquisition to be impermissible, because the position of individuals' privacy is very important to the sacred lawgiver. On the other hand, government issues have also had a special place in the Islamic system from the past to the present, and sometimes, special secondary or governmental rulings have been stated to preserve the Islamic system. But sometimes, in order to achieve the goals of the Islamic system and entrust it with serious responsibilities, it is necessary to examine the religious qualifications of some individuals. Some supervisory institutions (such as the Guardian Council and recruitment and selection centers) are most affected by this issue. Therefore, a solution should be considered. The distinction of this research lies in the contrast between the theory of "inspection of beliefs" and the examination of individuals' religious competence, which does not allow individual views and unjustified intrusion into individuals' privacy. Using a descriptive-analytical method and library resources and Islamic science software, this research seeks to prove the permissibility of examining the authority of belief in issues related to the Islamic system. The results show that by correct explaintion of the verses of the Quran, the hadiths, the life of the infallibles, the rule of "preserving the Islamic system" and the rule of "the most important and important", it is necessary for military and intelligence agencies to examine the doctrinal competence in some cases in order to prevent possible damage to the Islamic system. On the other hand, based on solid evidence, we believe that inquisition is not permissible.
