One of the authors in the field of scientific interpretation is Ayatollah Ma’refat. His attitudes in this field are documented in various sources, but it is demanding and time-consuming to learn those attitudes. Therefore, this study undertakes a review of his works so as to extract his opinions about the advantages and disadvantages of scientific interpretation. In this research, the data are collected with a descriptive-developmental method, and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) serves to analyze them. The results of the study suggest that encouraging Muslims to gain knowledge and protecting the independence of Muslim societies, as two factors, are the most significant advantages of scientific interpretation. In contrast, servility to science and insufficient expertise are the major pathological factors in this regard. As it seems, certain advantageous factors such as facilitating the methodical understanding of Qur’anic verses are in common among different types of interpretation. There are also cases directly related to scientific interpretation, such as encouraging Muslims to gain knowledge and protecting the independence of Muslim societies. This is because gaining the required knowledge, mainly natural sciences, plays a role in the technical progress of Muslim societies, which predisposes the independence of those societies.
