Reinvestigation and Explanation of the Status of the Terms “the Real Motive” and “the Apparent Motive” in Deduction of Precepts

Some verses and hadiths involving the precepts are reasoned by ratiocinations which have been divided by the Islamic jurists into two categories called successively, real motive and apparent motive. On the opposite of apparent motive, if something is considered as real motive, it will be generalizer and restrictor of precept. In this paper, the authors have attempted to discover the basis of this classification, the concept and the similar and different characteristics of apparent motive and real motive. It appears that the jurist has mental background due to the famous fatwa, specific hadiths and the spirit of caution in the classification of ratiocinations into real motive and apparent motive.
