Nass (Islam)
Legal concept
None
Nass ( Arabic : نَصّ , romanized : naṣṣ ) is an Arabic word variously translated as "a known, clear legal injunction," a "divine decree", [1] a "designation", [2] "written law" as opposed to unwritten law, [3] "canonical text" that forbids or requires, [4] a "textual proof". [5]
In Shiah Islam ( Twelver and Isma'ili ), nass refers specifically to the designation of an infallible Imam by a previous infallible Imam. [2]
