Prison is a category which is relevant to the crime and deviation (from laws, mysticism and ethics) in society. Throughout human history, there have always been those who have acted in contrast to the laws and regulations of society, and the governing systems of societies have provided punishments for such individuals to avoid society from deviating and to uphold its laws and morals. On one side, one of these practices and tools is to punish, and on the other side, to return criminals to the normal life in society. Prisons were in the early days of Islam, either in Hejaz or in Iraq. At that time, the Holy Prophet and the first caliph did not have a particular prison or place to imprison criminals. Prison was applied as a harsh punishment with very difficult conditions, more specifically against those who acted against the regime. With the advent of the Islamic Revolution, the Islamic law on Iranian prisons was implemented. Primarily the purpose of classifying prisoners is to avoid and prohibit possible harm to the prisoner, as well as to make it easier to keep prisoners, so as to make the least issues for themselves and prison officials, and to enhance the classification and education and rehabilitation of the prisoners, as well

One of the most significant and vital issues, the discussions of which have always been concerned by the jurists of Islamic religions and consequently, the civil law, is the nature and issues arranged on the relatives’ alimony. Generally speaking, the relatives’ alimony has numerous branches. Discussing the amount of relatives’ alimony, the benefactors numbers, the number of against benefactors, the almsgiving order, the conditions for almsgiving necessity and other basic issues are among which are addressed from the viewpoint of Islamic jurists and the articles of Iranian civil law. In this research, which has been conducted by descriptive-analytical method, has been achieved by following Iranian law and general jurisprudence and also by using legal texts. Almsgiving means providing normal expenses of the wife and relatives in need. Marriage and wife’s obedience are two conditions for husband to be obligated to almsgiving. He has to pay her expenses. His poverty does not prevent him paying for his wife. Relative kinship between family members has caused parents and children to pay for each other's living expenses. If people are unable to earn enough money due to lack of work or disability, a financially able relative should pay for the livelihood of their poor relatives.
