The commitment act in the jurisprudent lesson: pragmatic approach -Reading in the book Tahrir al-Kalam fi Masail al-Iltizam-

Abstract

The paper sheds light on a pragmatic approach to the commitment act in the jurisprudent lesson because it is a speech act that results in rights between the individuals. Because the concept of commitment is deeply-rooted in Laws, the paper is structured as follows: determining the concept of commitment in the legal lesson, showing its importance in founding and formulating the speech act theory, determining the concept of the commitment act in the pragmatic lesson and its characteristics, and finally showing the concept of the commitment act in the jurisprudence and revealing its pragmatic dimensions through the jurisprudents’ identification of its bases and their adoption of the pragmatic procedures such as the intention and circumstantial evidence. In this line, the book Tahrir al-Kalam fi Masail al-Iltizam of Abi Abdullah Mohamed Bin Mohamed Al-Raini, known as “al-Khattab” is what we relied on in the application and approach.
