Abstract :
Law and legislation are the most important concepts in our time. Now local, national, regional and international institutions claim that they administer and direct behaviors by enacting their own laws. If that is so, then one may pose the question what is law and legislation? Is religious jurisprudence is the same as law? Are Islam’s laws are fixed and unchangeable laws which are applicable in all places and times. What influences do the concepts of place and time have on law and legislation in an Islamic government? These are the questions which are set to be analyzed in the thoughts of Imam Khomeini who himself was a religious jurist and founder of Iran’s present Islamic political system.
