The Governmental Decree (<nowiki>''</nowiki>Ḥukm Ḥukūmatī<nowiki>''</nowiki>), as interpreted by the author, refers to "the detailed commands and instructions, the establishment of general laws and regulations, and the directives for the implementation of religious laws and decrees. These are issued by the legitimate leadership of the community, who acts in accordance with the divine right to lead bestowed upon them by God or the infallible, while considering the welfare of society". The author further examines the nature of The Governmental Decree (<nowiki>''</nowiki>Ḥukm Ḥukūmatī<nowiki>''</nowiki>) and provides the related documentation. He asserts that addressing the challenges faced by the system, which is legally the responsibility of the leadership, falls under the category of executive orders. He views legislation across all domains as part of the responsibilities and authorities of the leadership, which has been delegated to other institutions. Consequently, all regulations concerning the acquisition of individuals' lands by municipalities, approved by the parliament, are deemed both religiously and legally valid as executive orders (pp. 102-125). | The Governmental Decree (<nowiki>''</nowiki>Ḥukm Ḥukūmatī<nowiki>''</nowiki>), as interpreted by the author, refers to "the detailed commands and instructions, the establishment of general laws and regulations, and the directives for the implementation of religious laws and decrees.

The author indicates that a person who is unwilling to fulfill the rights of others or their own legal duties is considered recalcitrant. In accordance with this rule, the governing authority is permitted to act in place of the recalcitrant individual. The author asserts that the legislator has utilized this rule in the laws governing municipal projects to prioritize public rights. For example, these laws provide that if the executive body and the property owner cannot reach an agreement, a fair price will be established by three experts (one from the executive body, one from the property owner, and a third chosen by both parties). Should the property owner decline to nominate an expert, a qualified court will appoint one on their behalf (pp. 125-130). | The author indicates that a person who is unwilling to fulfill the rights of others or their own legal duties is considered recalcitrant.
