There are different approaches in Islamic ethics, one of which deals with the ethics of narrations (of hadiths); the latter itself follows two approaches: narrating moral hadiths and the jurisprudence of ethics. The jurisprudence of ethics uses the methodology of inferencing to discuss analyze and the problems and basics of ethical concepts and propositions. The presence of reason in jurisprudence and ethics takes place in two forms: instrumental (reason as a means of argument) and sourceful (reason as the source of argument); the instrumental reason deals with the analysis of moral narrative (hadith) texts, and the sourceful reason is considered as a source on par with narration in the jurisprudence of ethics. The precise explanation of the presence of this reason and its functions in the jurisprudence of ethics is one of the essential issues of this discipline which the present study has investigated, using a descriptiveanalytical method of research. The results indicate that the sourceful reason in the jurisprudence of ethics is mostly about the basics and generalities of ethics as well as about sub-issues. The author explains the way in which the sourceful reason is used in the jurisprudence of ethics to the researchers of this field; in addition to explaining the functions of this reason, examples of its use in the jurisprudence of ethics are presented. Some functions of the sourceful reason in the jurisprudence of ethics are as follows: perception of moral principles and generalities, correcting errors caused by misunderstanding of ethical knowledge, stating the branches and examples of ethical rules, determining rules in the absence of moral texts, coordinating and regulating jurisprudence and ethics.
