The Importance of the Personality of Contract Party in Signing the Beneficence Contracts

The contract division which has many applications in 'Imamiyeh' jurisprudence is Aleatory contract and Beneficence contract. The purpose of the contract parties is the base of the divisions. In aleatory contract the purpose is to make a fortune but in beneficence contract it is kindness and altruism. In beneficent contract, the personality of contract party is the main reason for signing the contract because features of contrast party are the stimulus for charity and altruism. Therefore, in beneficent contract mistake in the personality of contract party results in cancellation of contract, while in aleatory contract, the purpose is making fortune and it does not matter who is the contract party. Yet, the personality is the base of beneficence contract but in aleatory contract the personality does not affect.
