Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Sources of Rights RELATIONSHIP OF TRUTH WITH EXPEDIENCY From what has been discussed above, the meaning of expediency and mischief and the need for the conformity of law with individual and social interests becomes clear. It is now the turn to moot the final question: what is the relationship between the truth and expediency? In the beginning of the paper we pointed out that the word truth has different meanings.

This difference must be carefully attended to so that no mistake or confusion takes place. One of the meanings of truth in connection with our discussions is that deed should possess and appropriate and befitting aim and objective. That is to say it should cause the achievement of greater success. As against this, untruth means a deed which is devoid of such and objective, for instance meaningless and futile deeds.

According to this definition a deed which is expedient is true and an action devoid of expediency is untrue. Similarly, a law which specifies the first type of deed shall be true and the law which provides for the other type shall be untrue. In this way, truth and expedience shall be in conformity with and testifying each other.

In other words, both the meanings shall be abstract essence and secondary philosophical intelligible which shall be segregated in consideration of the relationship between the action and the result accruing therefrom. As far as rights as a legal term is concerned it means a legal privilege which is confirmed by individual or society and has a two-side relationship with the rightful and against whom the right is given, and necessarily provides and obligation for the opposite side.

This is an essence of credibility which has close relationship with property. The basic difference is that in regard to property attention is not paid to two aforesaid relationships and only the relationship of owner with the property is taken into consideration If the essence of right is considered in a wider sense and not limited within the circle of social relations, it would also include moral laws and would also hold true in case of relationship between the Creator and creation.

However, the subject of truth should be related with voluntary action in some way or the other.
