Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

What are the limits of the authority of the Messenger and the Imams, peace be upon them? Do they have absolute authorization to dispose of the affairs of beings? What are the limits of Wilayat al-Faqih (Leadership of the religious ruler)?

Answer

In the name of Allah, the Messenger and the imams (PBUT) have absolute legislative authority and legally executive authority over all people. As for the constitutive affairs, they have the ability to act as a miraculously, where the miracle may be the action of Allah Almighty at the hand of the infallible and it may be that he did what Allah Almighty bestowed upon him of the ability. As for the ruler (Faqeeh), he has full power of the legislative authority in social matters and the ability to apply the sharia rulings if the requirements are available in terms of Islamic countries, organizing their affairs and managing their affairs by direct or by proxy and defending them. Allah knows best
