Abstract

Spiritual and religious health plays a significant role in reducing crimes and protects individuals from falling into the traps of evil. It is evident that any action deemed forbidden in Islam, which has been declared unlawful by jurists, is certainly due to the harm and damage inflicted on the offender, and it is likely that the repercussions of this harm extend to society. What holds great value in this context is each individual's attention to their inherent dignity, or self-worth. Considering this important aspect and exploring the philosophy of legal rulings in the realm of crimes, this research aims to examine a group of incarcerated women struggling with addiction, addressing their self-worth and subsequently analyzing the philosophy behind the prohibition of this crime and its connection to their spiritual and existential well-being. The research method employed was a quasi-experimental design of the pre-test and post-test type with a control group. For this purpose, 30 incarcerated women were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (15 participants in each group). Participants were assessed before and after the intervention using research tools that included.
