Kanon huquqi

XI asrga oid kanon huquqiga doir asar — Burchard of Wormsning Decretum kitobi sahifalarining tasviri. Bu asar cherkov huquqi bo‘yicha yozilgan muhim manbalardan biri hisoblanadi.

Kanon huquqi (qadimgi yunoncha: κανών – chizgʻich, meʼyor, qoida) – nasroniy diniy tashkiloti yoki cherkov hamda uning aʼzolari boshqaruvi uchun cherkov yurisdiksiyasi tomonidan qabul qilingan nizom va qoidalarning majmuasidir.

Kanon huquqi ichki cherkov qonunlari yoki faoliyatni tartibga soluvchi siyosatni oʻz ichiga oladi va u quyidagi diniy anʼanalarda qoʻllanadi: Rim-katolik cherkovi (Lotin cherkovi hamda Sharqiy katolik cherkovlari), Sharqiy pravoslav cherkovlari, Qadimgi pravoslav cherkovlari hamda Anglikan hamjamiyatidagi alohida milliy cherkovlar. Ushbu cherkov huquqining qanday shaklda qabul qilinishi, talqin etilishi va baʼzan sud tartibida koʻrib chiqilishi bu toʻrt yoʻnalishning har birida sezilarli darajada farq qiladi. Uchala asosiy anʼanada ham kanon dastlab cherkov kengashi tomonidan qabul qilingan qoida boʻlib, keyinchalik kanon huquqining poydevorini tashkil etgan.

Etilmologiyasi

Kanon soʻzi yunoncha κανών, arabcha qaanoon / قانون, ibroniycha kaneh / קָנֶה soʻzlaridan kelib chiqqan boʻlib, ularning barchasida „toʻgʻri chiziq“, „meʼyor“, „qoida“ yoki „oʻlchov“ maʼnosini anglatadi. Ushbu ildiz soʻzlarning dastlabki maʼnosi „qamish“ bilan bogʻliq boʻlib, ingliz tilidagi cane („qamish tayoq“) soʻzining roman tillaridagi ajdodlari bilan ham aloqador.

IV asrda (325-yil) boʻlib oʻtgan Birinchi Nikeya Kengashi qarorlarida „kanon“ termini cherkovning intizomiy choralarini ifodalash uchun qoʻllangan. Yunon tilida κανών aynan „qoida“ yoki „meʼyor“ degan maʼnoni bildiradi. Dastlabki davrlardanoq cherkov tomonidan qabul qilingan kanonlar bilan davlat tomonidan chiqarilgan qonunlar oʻrtasida aniq farq boʻlgan.
