The Role of the Shi'ite Scholars (ulama) in the Modernization of Juridical System of the Pahlavid First Period
Journal Title: تاریخ و فرهنگ - Year 2011, Vol 43, Issue 86
Abstract
During the Pahlavid first period,ie after Reza Shah's ascencion to the throne,the modernization of all the pillars of state,including the juridical system was brought to government's attention.The government's approach in this process was keeping itself away from the religious legal system and inclining to secular structures.This approach aroused ulama's reaction,because they considered themselves custodians of jurisprudence.As a result,the government removed these scholars who opposed to the modern structures from juridical office.However, a few of them, despite their general disapproaval of the current juridical development, remained in the Department of Justice and continued to be effective.They contributed to the production and compilation of the legal code, required by the Department of Justice,and necessary civil laws according to the Islamic jurisprudence.
