Therefore, the need to examine the foundations of jurists in this field becomes clear, because according to some views, it removes the harmful ruling, and according to another view, it removes the effects of the harmful ruling. Some believe that a harm that cannot be compensated will be removed, and some have used the prohibition of harm. But in the meantime, Imam Khomeini (may Allah be pleased with him) considered the prophetic narration of harm as a sovereign prohibition and did not accept a rule called harm.
