Abstract :
Velayat-e motlagh-e which means "absolute guardianship" is a term used in different sciences. In this paper, the application of this term in Fiqh "Islamic jurisprudence" has been discussed. The paper hypothesizes that the assignment of iitlaq for Velayat "guardianship" does not have the same meaning in Fiq'hi "Islamic jurisprudential" terms. An overview shows that this word is used differently according to the topic under discussion. At least six meanings and concepts of this word can be seen in the phrases of fuqahā (Islamic jurists), which is a sign of the relative nature of its meaning and concept. The Velayat that "it is not bound by expediency", "in addition to the public sphere, it also includes the private sphere", "beyond the scope of the necessary affairs of the society, it contains all public affairs", "in addition to the implementation of Sharia rulings, tries to enact laws in the realm of Sharia principles", "in addition to the implementation of rulings, establishes laws in the realm of Sharia Mubah "permitted" and obligations" and "Velayat over the property of the Imam (AS)" is referred to as Velayat-e motlagh-e (absolute guardianship). This variety of usage shows that the assignment of iitlaq in the term Velayat-e motlagh-e does not have the same meaning and concept and it has a different meaning depending on the topic under discussion and in dispute. The purpose of this research paper is to show relativity in the idea of iitlaq in the Islamic jurisprudential term of Velayat-e motlagh-e. The research method will be descriptive-analytical based on reliable Fiq'hi "based on Islamic jurisprudential method" sources.
