In Shiite political jurisprudence, the legitimacy of the government has a fundamental position. The legitimacy or illegitimacy of past governments is very important in shaping Shiite political jurisprudence. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to criticize the legitimacy of the Safavid government and the theory of Shiite monarchy: Did the Safavid government have legitimacy in Mohaqqiq Karaki's relations with Shah Tahmaseb or not? The content analysis method has been used to answer this question. In this study, by stating the argument of the legitimacy of the Safavid government in Mohaqiq Karaki's relations with Shah Tahmaseb, it has been criticized and, considering Mohaqqiq Karaki's theoretical foundations, it has been proven that Karaki considers the government of Shah Tahmaseb to be tyrannical and tyrant. Also, his practical conduct in relations with Shah Tahmaseb cannot be taken as a proof forr the legitimacy of the Shah's rule, considering that there was no authorization from Karaki regarding the legitimacy of the Shah and also that Mohaqiq's era was during the period of Shah Tahmaseb's corruption. |
