Abstract

In the case of the initial endowment for the fetus, the Civil Code does not have an explicit provision and has generally limited itself to determining the ruling on the issue of a non-existent endowment based on the existing one. A large group of Shiite and Sunni jurists believe the initial endowment for the fetus is invalid and have cited reasons such as the fetus's non-existence, the fetus's lack of ownership, qualification, and the consensus of jurists in this field. On the other hand, another group by taking an opposing position such as having the right of ownership for fetus absolutely, the ownership of the endowment contract and claiming the absence of consensus of jurists in this field have insisted on the replacing the acceptance of a guardian (Vali) or ruler for the fetus and claiming that there is no consensus. The present article has been done by descriptive –analytical and inferential methods and by collecting data in a library, examines both perspectives, analyze and evaluate their reasons and overall prefer the opinion of the first group that is well-known and based on stronger evidence opinion.
