The effect of color, smell, taste and sounds on judgments in fiqh

The aim of this study is to examine colors, smells, tastes and sounds, which are the basic elements created to distinguish beings from each other and to give meaning to existing things. The subject of examination will not only be the colors, smells, tastes and sounds themselves, but the positive or negative effects they have on the religious rules existing in the classical or modern periods. Sometimes these elements are an essential condition for mandatory worship, sometimes they can be a sign that enables the right of choice in a sale, and sometimes they can be evidence in proving a crime committed. All the elements of color, smell, taste and sound, which are the subject of the research, were examined according to four sects on the axis of worship, muâmelât and ukûbât existing in Islamic law. Each element has been considered as an independent section, and in each section, an attempt has been made to examine whether the elements in question have an impact on the provisions in the relevant fields and whether they have positive or negative effects on the provisions. Key words: Islamic Law, Color, Smell, Taste, Sound, Ruling.
