The present paper is based on the analysis of the viewpoints of the two main sects of jurisprudents towards the Muslim mystics and Islamic mysticism. In this article, along with the commentaries of the jurisprudents of Islamic religions and their critique of Islamic mysticism and Muslim mystics, we have analyzed them. In this paper, in addition to the introduction and generalities that make up the first chapter, the second chapter begins with a general overview of the historical course of the fundamental challenges of the Muslim jurists and mystics before the Safavid, and continued with discussions such as the introduction of the works of the Shiite and Sunni scholars, both those who oppose and those who agree with mysticism. Then reviewed the critics’ practices in critiques and causes of opposition, and in the third chapter, the critiques of Shiite and Sunni jurisprudents on the practical aspects of the Muslim mystics, and in the fourth chapter, the critiques of the jurisprudents have been analyzed the theoretical foundations of Islamic mysticism, and the fifth chapter, analyzes and reviews have been considered the justifiability of the capabilities of mysticism. As a result, it turns out that neither the mystic is anti-Sharia and jurisprudence and clergy, nor the jurisprudence is the enemy of mysticism and esoteric knowledge, the Knowledge which is derived from the pure source of the Qur’an and Hadith of the Ahlul-Bayt, and as the bright sun is constantly in manifestation.
