Abstract

The study on the scope of the authorities and duties of Wilayat e- Faqih is of significant role in relation to the implementation of governorship and Islamic policies. Mohaqeq e- Khuee considers the admittance of Wilayat in the domain of jurisdiction as well as the non-contentious matters in narrowed down meaning. However, non-contentious issue in extended meaning including the political authority of the jurist or Wilayat e- Faqih is not clearly stated in his ideas. Saheb e- Javaher believes in the general authority of the jurist and Imam Khomeini believes in the absolute authority which is the authority of jurist on the affairs of Muslims and community. The hypothesis is that the jurists have accepted a kind of authority or Wilayat for the jurist while they are disagreements related to its extent. This article has investigated the commonalities and the differences in the ideas of the aforementioned jurisprudents related to the extent of the authorities and duties of Vali ye- Faqih relying on library research method and taking advantage of jurisprudential works. Finally, it has been concluded that the domain of authorities is not limited to jurisdiction and it includes the political Wilayat as well. Furthermore, the disagreements in the ideas of the there scholars in this regard is not considered an unmanageable issue
