Abstract: In today's world, the false satisfaction of human spirituality through false mysticism is expanding. The current research was conducted with the aim of jurisprudential investigation of false mysticism from the perspective of Imami jurisprudence. In this research, which was carried out with a descriptive-analytical method, along with the introduction of emerging mysticisms, jurisprudence and methods of dealing with these deviant currents were discussed. The findings of the research indicated that false mysticism is a way and method or a school that moves in a direction other than reaching true perfection by using mystical methods. Emerging false mysticisms with belief in manifestations of disbelief and atheism, such as dissolution, reincarnation, assignment, immorality, and some of the principles and branches of the holy religion of Islam, have arisen in conflict with the holy religion of Islam. False mysticism, unlike true mysticism with wrong methods, entertains people with worldly and imaginary affairs instead of reaching the truth of the world and God of existence. According to the famous opinion of the famous Imami jurists, there is no Shariah permission for the activity of false mystics. Also, the basics of fighting against false mysticism, "apostasy", and "heresy" are found in the Holy Qur'an and inspired by the life of the Great Prophet (pbuh) and the Imams (pbuh).
