Abstract :

With the rise of the Safavid Shiite government in the neighborhood of the Ottoman Caliphate, their reliance on Tabra to justify war between the two religions could pave the way for persuading soldiers to go to war with each other; Therefore, we are witnessing the widespread political application of this jurisprudential ruling by the Safavids. This article examines ten contracts from the Safavid period to the Qajar period, with the aim of answering a few questions: As an jurisprudential ruling, what effect has Tabra had on the political arena of Iran-Ottoman relations? In which of these treaties are the Safavids forbidden from Tabra? And what obligation did the Ottomans accept in the face of this obligation? The present study, conducted through the method of historical research based on analysis, reflects the fact that the rulers of the two countries, whenever their interests demanded, used Tebra as a political weapon to oppose each other. Another is that throughout the Safavid period, the prohibition of Tabra was a fixed clause in all Iranian contracts with the Ottomans.
