Wilayat-i Faqih (henceforth, WF) as a doctrine justifying the rulership of a faqih was developed almost single-handedly by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (1902-1989) during his exile in Najaf. This doctrine constituted the core of his revolutionary call for the establishment of an Islamic polity by the clerics. After the victory of the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and the adoption of a constitution incorporating the doctrine of WF, the claim that a faqih as “wali-yi amr” has the God-given right to rule the society and that the people must give obedience to him became a matter of real-world significance. This led not only to the heightened efforts to promote the doctrine but also to further theorization and the resultant different interpretations.The key question then became: by whose sanction is the faqih entitled to such commanding authority? On this question (which is technically called the issue of mansha-i mashruiyat-i WF), two opposing views were developed among the disciple-followers of Imam Khomeini. They were the intisabi (or mashruiyat-i ilahi-yi bila-wasitah) view on the one hand, and the intikhabi (or mashruiyat-i ilahi-mardumi) one on the other, and it was the former that has prevailed.The purpose of this article is two-fold: first to examine the original doctrine of WF as advocated by Ayatollah Khomeini in Najaf in the early years of the 1970s; then to examine the two opposing views —-intisabi and intikhabi— on the source of the legitimacy of WF which were developed in Iran after the establishment of the Islamic Republic there. The article ends with some comparison and critical analysis of the two views.
