description In the contemporary era, the social justice has been focus of special attention, and explained and interpreted variously in the form of the theories of justice. In the climate of the Islamic thought, the belief in the perfection of Shariʿa and the capacity of the Islamic teachings for optimal management of the human societies has brought about a belief in self-sufficiency of Shariʿa and no need to any attempt for some movements such as identity neo-Salafism. In the present article, while explaining the view of identity neo-Salafism regarding the status of Shariʿa in establishing justice with a focus on Sayyid Quṭb's thought, we attempt to explore various aspects of the discussion on the relationship between Shariʿa and social justice. In this way, we try to present a vivid picture of the function of jurisprudence and Shariʿa in the sphere of establishing social justice as defined by Islam.
