THE IGNORANCE (CEHL) IN ISLAMIC LAW AND ITS LEGAL EFFECTS

Abstract

İslam erdered to have religious knowledge and compare it to light resource that brighten the dark; and detract the ignorance (cehl) and compare it to darkness. To have the knowledge is having priority to responsibility, word and action; and without the knowledge, they do not have authenticity. The meaning of "to know" which is the basic requirement ofresponsibility, does not always mean to have the knowledge, but to have possibilty for knowledge or the ways to knowledge. Because of the fact that knowledge is an important criteria to hold the people for responsibility, the ignorance (cehl) which is antonymous of the knowledge must be known clearly, for any situations it can be an exeuse and acceptable as excluding liability. For this reason, in this article we tried to explain the parts and esence of ignorance (cehl), and which directions of the ignorance are acceptable as exeuse or not.
