Abstract
The historical view towards Shiite jurisprudence has changed to an individual approach mainly due to the conditions of life, and it has considered satisfying the needs of believers as well as the prudence of their life affairs. Against the historical view, Shiite jurisprudence is of an extended capacity being able to manage all the dimensions of people’s life including the individual, social and governmental life. Along with the victory of Iran Islamic revolution and the possibility of the best realization of capacities of Shiite jurisprudence, Imam Khomeini has reviewed Shiite jurisprudence and presented a government-based reading on the basis of governmental approach. He has applied jurisprudence in line with the favorable management of society and considered the satisfaction of individual, social and governmental needs of community. This jurisprudential view is of particular properties and requirements leading to the favorable management of community and guarantees its qualification.
