Abstract

Akhund Khurasani is a jurisprudential thinker, deals with the political issue in  a rational approach.  Referring to the theoretical and practical contexts of his jurisprudential and political thinking, this essay tries to understand the nature of  his jurisprudential and political thought and shows the relationship of jurisprudence and political issue. The author definitely studies his jurisprudential attitude about Velayate Fagheh (a theory of Islamic governance) and Mashrotiyyaht (constitutional movement in Iran) as the main cases of political issues of that era and believes that his attitude in these cases is compatible with his jurisprudential and political approach.
