An Analytical Study on Imam Khomeini's Thought of the Necessity of Government during the Absence of Pure Imam

During recent centuries the problem of faqih`s rule in the absence of pure Imam has been focused on among fuqaha, some have viewed for and some other against it. Among the former one important problem may be found; it runs as: are foqaha obligated to prepare the ground to form Islamic government or not? Among those saying that it is the duty of people to prepare necessary conditions for establishing Islamic government by faqih, Imam has viewed foqaha to be obligated for measuring to prepare conditions and form faqih`s government and invite people to accept it. For him, therefore, preparing the necessary ground for government would be as the grounds for the necessary not for th necessity. In the paper, Imams view and its proofs have been studied and explained in a analytico-descriptive method. Finally it has been described that though legality of faqih`s government is divinely prepared, attaining the government by power is not permited and public acceptance is needed.
