Consultative Body

The Consultative Body of the Council is the highest and most important body, and it constitutes the main backbone of the council of scholars. Furthermore, it possesses an unrestricted right to make decisions and take actions that accomplish the higher purposes of the Council. This applies to decisions relating to internal council affairs as well as for external affairs related to the Shia Muslim community in North America. This is based on the guidance, directions, and verdicts of the scholars of the seminaries and especially the supreme religious authority.
