🏷According to the information base of the Research Institute of Contemporary Jurisprudence Studies, in the sixty-fifth session of the “Method on Sundays” series titled “The Position of Convention and Public Satisfaction in the Legislative Process Based on Jurisprudence,”
🔸Ayatollah Seyyed Mohammad Ali Modarresi, by explaining the concepts of “convention” and “public satisfaction,” emphasized their distinction in the realms of jurisprudence and law-making. Referring to three levels of convention’s role in the jurisprudential system—including primary rulings, execution of rulings, and governmental laws—he reminded that convention and public preference can be effective in understanding terms and in the legislative domain, but in case of conflict with the text and religious foundations, precedence belongs to the religious ruling.
🔹The advanced lecturer in legislative jurisprudence, by presenting examples from the history of jurisprudence and Islamic governance, emphasized the necessity of preserving interest and governmental piety in facing public satisfaction and called for developing systematic frameworks for using these two concepts in the law-making system.
