Abstract

The theory of Velayat-e-Faqih as the basis for the formation of the Shiite government entered a new phase with the victory of the Islamic Revolution and its theoretical foundations were given more and more attention. One of the jurists whose theory was proposed as a different theory from the thought of Imam Khomeini (RA) is Ayatollah Khoei (RA). The main question here is what principles can be used to prove the issue of Velayat-e-Faqih in his opinion? In order to understand his exact opinion, it is absolutely necessary to pay attention to the evolution of Ayatollah Khoei's theory of Velayat-e-Faqih in recent periods, which can be seen in his extra-jurisprudential lessons and principles. Lack of attention to this issue. In this article, it will be proved that his thought on this issue indicates the unity of the result with the thought of Imam Khomeini (ra) while there is a difference in the way of reasoning.
