Abstract

Despite the difference in the ways to legitimize of the judgment of imitator, a person who imitate from legal authority, it is agreed that he can judge during an emergency. Now, one of the questions that may be posed is that on what Fatwa should the imitator judge? On the other hand, according to the existence of law in the Islamic society, a new question can be raised: Is it correct that he judges according to a law that is set on the different mujtahids’ Fatwa and What is the duty when there is a conflict between the Fatwa and the law? According to the opinions on this issue, the judge must verdict according to the Fatwa of his legal authority, or the mujtahid which has appointed him to the post of judging. According to these two opinions, judging by law about parties in action in the assumption of non-compliance with one of these two fatwas is not valid. The authors believe that the reasons presented about these two opinions are not capable of proving them and they have a theory that can legitimize judgments on the basis of law.
