This is important because the theory of supreme leader is one of the most important achievements of political thought driven from Shia school that is stemmed in the verses and cabbalas. The theory of supreme leader has a long history among jurists and amongst no one has been denied the supreme leader, but the jurisdiction of the supreme leader in occultation has been debated and it raised questions and doubts. Today, in this sense, the Islamic Republic of Iran on the basis of the theory of supreme leader has been led and establishing the principle of supreme leader in the constitution and the objectification on the community, it is of special significant to discuss the jurisdiction; hence, the analysis of the jurisdiction of the supreme leader is also a topic that can be investigated using verses and cabbalas.

Highlights

The findings:

According to the evidence based on the Quran and the cabbalas about the supreme leader’s jurisdiction was brought, it is concluded that

1. Fully qualified jurists of Islamic in addition to the appointment of the mandate of the award, enforcing the legal statements, jurisdiction, monitoring the government and probate matters are mandated on political and social issues too and under the positions and authorities, it was used the argument called by Supreme Leader. It is obvious Imam (AS) would not appoint a certain person to rule, but has determined in general. It is necessary obeying to the ruler of the general appointment from the immaculate, not accepting his sentence is seen as a rejection of the immaculate.

2. Being mandated on life and property and the fate of the people, without necessities and inevitable things and public and or social and public interest, but only in the will of supreme leader, it is the word that no jurist and theoretician had this idea and adhere to it

The jurist whit known features possesses the tripod dignity and position:

A. The position of adjudging has religious sentence to all what exist in life for the people and the place of the minor issues of religion and inferential propositions. This position is stable to the supreme leader, both from the point of view of scientific and technical and from award and theoretical, there is no difficulty and against.

B. Base and position of judgment between people is equal to what he sees fit and the right. Otherwise so [in lawsuit, the pass over and the wisdom to break the fast], the supreme leader’s vote and comment would be executed. There is no inconsistency of this position to be stabilized to the supreme leader.

C. The mandate of intervention into the wealth and lives of the people [in such independent mandate and allowed mandate] this kind is the objective of our discussion.

3. According to the jurists if the supreme leader would be ensured the ruler not to abuse him or Shiites, the execution of divine statement is obligatory upon him.

4. The provisions of the supreme leader position are based on an interest drum, the mandate behooves to the Muslim that the mandatory always considers their interests.

5. Finding out the jurisdiction of the Supreme Leader has a long history and it is found a lot of efforts among the jurists such as Mohaghegh kareki, Shahid Sani and Mohaghegh Ardebili in the Safavid era. This led to the beginning to find the jurisdiction of the Supreme Leader to get the criteria of the jurisdiction of the Supreme Leader in the absence presence, amongst the most significant criteria has been the relevance of the mandate with the interest under the issue of the supreme interest. This criterion can extend and develop supreme leader’s authority in each time period based on the best interests of the period for the believers. The same issue made the measurements arisen in subsequent periods for recognition of the jurisdiction of the Supreme Leader in the absence era and caught this into three areas: award, judgment between the people and the possession of property and lives of the people based on the believers’ expediency.

Abstract [Persian]

در این مقاله براساس آیات قرآن و روایات مربوط به ولی فقیه در مورد حوزه قضایی رهبر معظم انقلاب است. این موضوع به این دلیل مهم است که نظریه مقام معظم رهبری یکی از مهمترین دستاوردهای اندیشه سیاسی رانده شده از مکتب شیعه است که از آیات و روایات نشأت گرفته است. نظریه ولی فقیه سابقه طولانی در بین حقوقدانان دارد و در بین کسی از فقها، نظریه ولی فقیه رد نشده است، اما صلاحیت ولی فقیه در غیبت مورد بحث قرار گرفته و سؤالات و شبهاتی را ایجاد کرده است. امروزه جمهوری اسلامی ایران بر اساس نظریه ولایت فقیه رهبری شده و با تثبیت اصل ولی فقیه در قانون اساسی و عینیت بخشیدن به جامعه، بحث در مورد صلاحیت آن از اهمیت ویژه‌ای برخوردار گشته است. از این رو تحلیل صلاحیت ولی فقیه نیز موضوعی است که با استفاده از آیات و روایات قابل بررسی است. در این مقاله با تبیین دیدگاه قرآن و مبانی مربوط به مقام معظم رهبری، موضوع بررسی می‌شود.
