This study aims to investigate Ayatollah Javadi Amoli's view on the gender of the soul and analyze and criticize his arguments, referring to his written works using an analytical-documentary method. The results of the studies showed that the dominant tendency of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli's arguments is to deny the gender in terms of the human abstract. He proves the above issue by relying on the philosophical principles such as the quality of the emergence of the soul, actuality and human form, the position of the gender in matter, the gender impossibility of the soul based on the Tashrifia addition and the truth of the resurrection. There are some considerations in each of these arguments, which include: assigning substantial movement to existence and considering matter and body to be outside of it, considering the body to be one with the matter, not considering Mulla Sadra's final opinion on the matter and form as the analytical Araz of the body. Ayatollah Javadi Amoli has also raised points in some cases that prove an influence of the gender in the soul. These points are as follows: the difference between the two sexes in some sensual states, the effect of the soul's previous state on its abstract state during its substantial movement, the presence of the body and some of its characteristics in some subsequent states. The mentioned points show that although arguments can deny the gender from the perspective of the human abstract, they cannot deny the effect of the gender on the structure of the human soul.
