Abstract

Usually religious jurists are affected by principles of religion and also socio-political conditions they live in. So they acquire different attitudes towards politics. Some of them have a negative attitude and do not believe in Shiites political life during the age of absence, but some other consider politics as a requirement and believe that the duties of the infallible Imam (AB) should be completed. Ayatullah Tabrizi is one of the religious traditional scholars who has a requiring attitude towards policy in the years before His return from occultation. But against those who demand Guardianship of the Jurist, he uses another path to recognize the Rule of Islamic Jurist for the establishment of an Islamic government.
