Abstract
Life expectancy is a quantitative index in sociological studies and a criterion for evaluating development. The life expectancy of citizens expresses the cultural, social, economic and health status of that society.Considering the role of quality of life in increasing life expectancy, as people's health increases, life expectancy, i.e., their lifespan, also increases. In this research, while examining the concept of life expectancy in social sciences, we want to show, based on religious teachings and based on jurisprudence, to what extent the increase in life expectancy and its infrastructure, including the observance and development of health and physical and mental health, should be considered. There are religious leaders and Muslim jurists.The findings of the current research, which was conducted using descriptive analytical method and based on library sources, show that increasing life span has religious value when it is accompanied by physical and mental health and in order to increase good deeds (righteous deeds). In this way, ensuring the health of the body and mind are the two ultimate goals of legislation in the Islamic jurisprudence system, and as a result, self-harm (harm to the soul) and doing risky things are considered haram; As the obligation to ward off possible harm, the obligation to preserve the self-respected self, the need to revive the self-respected self, and the need to do good deeds imply the necessity of trying to maintain physical and mental health, and a Muslim man is not allowed to harm his health or Do not protect his health
