Abstract

The issue of the functions of parliament and the conditions as well as the sphere of legislation in the contemporary history of our country has always been correlated with the general topic of religion and its sphere on the one hand, and with issues relevant to public law and political science on the other. Considering the deep influence of Muslim clergymen in the theoretical and practical development of society, study of the issue from this perspective is of high significance. Among the wide range of contemporary scholars, the socio-political performance and jurisprudential views of the late Akhund Khurasani in the constitutional era hold a particular position. Study of the issues relevant to parliament and the conditions of legislation in his view can lead to the development of legal as well as political concepts within the theoretical framework of the Islamic system. The present article focuses on this issue.
