Study of the Origin of Competence of the Members of Islamic Parliament

In explanation of the origin of competencies of the members of the Islamic Parliament was usually referred to the liberal traditional views, i.e., the theory of delegation granted by people to the members of parliament. Nevertheless, since legal effects and consequences of the above idea were inconsistent with the foundations of the Islamic political thought and because of the essential difference between the Islamic system and ordinary governments, question of the origin of the competency of the members of parliament seems to be an important question which needs to be studied anew. While re-studying and criticizing common views about the origin of competency of the members of parliament, in the present article applicability of the legal status of wali-e-faqih to the Parliament in the constitutional conext has been accepted and emphasized as the chosen view.
