Abstract

One of the important issues in politics is the legitimacy of the government; In this regard, questions are raised; Such as, what government is acceptable in Islam? Is just having the leadership characteristics enough for that? Do people have a role in acceptance? Is domination legitimate? and the like.
In this article, allegiance, which is one of the governmental methods and has been confirmed in the Qur'an and hadiths, and in fact is pre-Islamic tradition and Islam has been accepted and signed with conditions, will be discussed. In this method, in addition to the conditions of leadership, the consent and acceptance of the people are either taken into account as a condition of necessity or an obligatory condition, and the government cannot gain legitimacy without it. The scope of this consent to accept the ruler extends to the acceptance of the government's grand plans, even if they decide against their own interests.
Therefore, after discussing the concept of allegiance, verses and hadiths have been cited in this regard and the conditions and scope of allegiance have been studied.
