Abstract
Human social life is an unavoidable necessity, and among its mechanisms, one of the key aspects is the exchange of opinions and ideas among individuals. Islam, as a complete religion that fully addresses the innate needs of humanity, places special importance on consultation for the advancement of human social life. Since in an Islamic society, the affairs of the community are managed through an Islamic government, this study analyzes and examines the views of two prominent contemporary Qur’anic interpreters of the Islamic world regarding whether the outcome of the council is binding for the government. According to the findings, Rashid Riḍā considers adherence to the majority opinion and the outcome of the council to be obligatory for the Islamic ruler and government. However, in ʿAllāmeh Ṭabāṭabāī’s view, following the opinion derived from the council or the majority opinion is not obligatory, and the final decision, after consultation and consideration of the opinions of experts, rests with the Islamic ruler. This does not diminish the value and importance of the consultative role of the people.
