Abstract
AIDS is a prevalent disease of our century. Fortunately its limited ways of transmission has caused it to be able to be controlled by adopting preventive methods. Transmission of HIV is therefore considered as a crime. The point is here: May the widespread transmission of AIDS be regarded as an instance of Moharaba (insurgency)? The appearance of evidences does not confirm this view, as most jurists deem necessary the condition of drawing out weapon for Moharaba. However, the author believes that a new interpretation of the Quran verse about Moharaba besides logical and step-by-step examination of the jurists' opinion may lead us to the opinion opposing that of most jurists. Keywords AIDS, Transmission, Moharaba, Ifsad Fi al-Arz (Corruption on earth).
