Letter [to Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani]

[In His Most Exalted Name

Your Highness Imam Khomeini, may your sublime presence last,

As you know some of the laws approved by the Islamic Consultative Assembly are related to the enforcement Islamic rules and policies or the aspect that their abandonment is not acceptable by the holy Sharia. But due to considerations such as regulation of general affairs, protection of interests and warding of possibilities of corruption they have to be temporarily implemented in accordance with the secondary rules. Regarding the former rules, we stand in need of approval and discretion of the leader, who according to the Constitution Supervises the three branches of government. Therefore, the Islamic Consultative Assembly seeks your Eminence's assistance and guidance in this respect.

Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, 5/7/1360 AHS]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Whatever required for disrupts the establishment owing and whatever is necessary due to its execution relinquishment and whatever conduces corruption and sin on account of its execution or abandonment is to be passed and implemented by the MPs after examining the issue by the majority of the Majlis deputies stipulating their being temporary as long as the issue is verified and automatically will be set aside after settlement of the issue. It should be stipulated that any of the office holders overstepping the boundaries provided is taken as offender and liable to legal and religious prosecution.

May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
