Abstract

Having thoroughly studied discussions during the ratification of article no.8 of the constitution and
jurisprudential viewpoints about the executing body and how "amr be ma'roof" [commending the good] and "nahy
az monkar" [forbidding the evil] should be executed, existing approaches regarding how this fariza [obligation by
Allah (SWT)] should be implemented have been analyzed and criticized in the frameworks of two viewpoints first of
which believes in the "necessity of creating a special institution for amr be ma'roof and nahy az monkar" and
second which does not believe in the necessity of such an institution. For the first viewpoint there are two groups. One
group believes in the formation of an executing and supervising institution while the other believes in the
establishment of a supervising institution only.
