Abstract

One of the examples of free choice of religion and expression of opinion is the propagation of religion. Propagation of any religion other than Islam is a well-known title in Shiite jurisprudence, the issue of which has been discussed by the jurists under the Dhimma contract, but the said title has not been explicitly recognized in the Constitution. The main question of this article is whether, according to the principles of the Constitution of the I. R. of Iran, it is possible to impose restrictions on Religious Propagation activities other than the Official Religion? Due to the authority of the religion in the Constitution, there is no independent title for propagating any religion other than the Official Religion, and this gap could challenge the scope of the authority of the Official Religion. The idea of this article is that a legal rule can be drawn based on the identification of the Official Religion and the "observance of Islamic norms" in Article 4, and the prohibition of "disturbing the principles of Islam" in Articles 24 and 27 and hence, any Religious Propagation activity that does not conform to the two titles can be restricted. Accordingly, with regard to the prohibition of investigation of individuals' beliefs in the Constitution and the guarantee of the right to choose one's religion, the mentioned restriction is in the field of citizenship rights and does not contradict with the fundamental human rights. The international law also gives governments the power to restrict Religious Propagation.
