The conferment of religious affairs to prophet and Imams is among the controversial issues that has been the battle ground of scholars and theologians since the early days of Islam on and the proponents and opponents have substantiated their views through rational and traditional documents. The exposition of issue helps the scholars to have a clear view of the debate and not to be trammeled in intellectual impasses in their positive or negative arguments. In doing so, we seek to tile the path for a better understanding of the issue and the Gordian knot that has preoccupied scholars for a while and to challenge those who has regarded this issue a verbal dispute and denied the right of legislation of Prophet and Imams. Finally we are to prove that this is a dynamic debate between scholars and needs to be demarcated in a more precise manner.
