Ayatollah Borujerdi's approach to the government foundation

Despite the renown of Ayatollah Boroujerdi`s attitude to the Faqih`s vast governmental powers in the age of occultation, the narrower and more limited powers than what are attributed to Sheikh Ansari and confined to social necessities, have been ascribed to Ayatollah Boroujerdi. While criticizing the mentioned outlook, the author believes that according to a right methodology for understanding the Ayatollah Borujerdi`s viewpoint, we can find that his Excellency has granted a large number of powers to a Faqih (Muslim jurisprudent) in the era of occultation. Consequently, this research has used the method of understanding the text as a way of criticism and considered understanding a text with attention to some titles such as method of discussion, author`s bases, context and time, disciples` understanding and recitation, same and different phrases and a comprehensive attitude to a text, and ascribed the famous doctrine to Ayatollah Brujerdi.
