Questioner: Youth Islamic Association of the provincial town of Boroujen
[In His Most Exalted Name
Blessed office of the Leader of the Revolution and the Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran His Holiness Imam Khomeini- may His blessings last,
With greetings and aspiration for the continued success of that eminent leader, based on the issues, which are occurring in our society, we regard it to be necessary to seek the religious verdict" fatwa" from the blessed office of that great leader with regard to the below mentioned case: Whenever in society administrative officials act in a manner that is contrary to Islamic rights and tenets and the directives of that eminent leader and the devoted employees and concerned individuals affiliated to that administrative office, ask them that why in such and such case they have acted against the rights, tenets and regulations, the authorities or those close to them point out that such approach with the authorities is against administrative trusteeship. They further state that because administrative trusteeship leads ultimately to the religious jurisprudent and the trusteeship of the Imam and the Prophet and God, thus the objecting individual who has lodged his protest through the law and in keeping with the directives of that leader to the authorities is a faithless and apostate person. We request you to announce your honorable opinion in this instance. May God's peace be upon you.
On behalf of brothers at the Youth Islamic Association of the Town of Boroujen- 4/10/1361 AHS]
In His Most Exalted Name
There is no administrative trusteeship in Islam and the employees and authorities in the administrative offices are only responsible to act in accordance with the administrative regulations and the Islamic government, and there is no trusteeship on a person or over a thing. If they act against the religious laws or a regulation, others can remind them without creating commotion and corruption.
