Abstract
This article compares the principles: neighbor in English law, Good Samaritan in America and Ihsan (benevolence) in Islamic law and also see fraternity in French law. The focus of this article is on the scope and application of these rules especially on the compensation of benefactor. This study shows that the Islamic principle has a wider scope and application and is not limited to the state of necessity, but the criteria for describing a person as a benefactor in the judgments of common law courts are practical and useful. Iranian law could consider these characteristics as the criteria of the reasonableness of the behavior. Indicators of good faith, freeness, absence of contractual relationship, absence of gross negligence should be taken in consideration in all charitable activities.
