المعنى الاصطلاحي

Violating others' rights or special authority without their permission.

الشرح المختصر

"Iftiyāt" (violating others' rights or authority) is transgressing against others' rights or authority without seeking their permission, whether the transgressor has a right to observe similar things or not. It is of two types: 1. "Iftiyāt" against the right of the ruler and/or his deputy: examples include unauthorized implementation of a legal prescribed punishment (which should be done only by the ruler or his deputy) and conducting jihad without the ruler's permission. 2. "Iftiyāt" against a right of someone other than the ruler: examples include trespassing a father's right to marry off his daughter, and allowing a non-"mahram" (permanently unmarriageable) man into the husband's house (during the husband's absence).

التعريف اللغوي المختصر

"Iftiyāt": to unilaterally follow one's own discretion and opinion without seeking authorization from those concerned. It is derived from "fawt", which means doing something prematurely or missing something. Other meanings: transgression, fabricating lies.

التعريف
