A member of the Motalefeh Party: Journalists should not ask religious authorities about the issue of ‘moharebeh’ (enmity against God).
Hamidreza Taraqi: We have 100 different jurisprudences, and there are disagreements on doubts as well. So, if we are to go and seek opinions from religious authorities and clerics on various controversial issues, we are making a mistake.
Are we supposed to implement these disagreements in the law? I repeat, my objection is to those who approach figures to put religious authorities against the system.
Where in the law does it say to go and ask the opinions of religious authorities and implement their views? The ruler is either in the hands of the Imam or the leadership, and no ruling can override the decision and judgment of the Supreme Leader.
I don’t mean that Mr. Makarem Shirazi shouldn’t have given his opinion, but the opinion that the judiciary is obliged to enforce is the one stated in the law. I prefer not to continue the discussion.
