Abstract:   (2924 Views)
Qajar kings were of Shi'ite religion and tried to stay loyal to the Shi'ite. Therefore, Shi'ite ulemas were reacting to Qajar kings’ socio-political changes. In fact, Shi'ite ulemas function regarding Qajar period events was due to their jurisprudence thoughts. Consequently, in this study Kashif al – Ghatta’s jurisprudence thought and political function regarding Fath Ali Shah Qajar was taken into consideration to clarify that to what extent Shi'ite Qajar kings sovereignty was legitimate? Findings of the research indicate that Kashif al – Ghatta has accepted Qajar king legitimacy due to political considerations and time necessity. Therefore, his thought, like that of the previous ulemas, is viewed as to legitimize the fair king actions, and Kashif al – Ghatta was interfering in political affairs intending to establish an Islamic government. The result of this thought caused adjustment of Kashif al – Ghatta’s jurisprudence consideration and personal tendencies and acceptance of the legitimacy of Qajar kings and Fath Ali Shah.
Keywords: Shi'ite history, Fath Ali Shah, political jurisprudence, Qajar dynasty, Kashif al-Ghatta.
