Abstract

 Some thinkers believe in the validity of political jurisprudence, and others believe in its invalidity. The maximalists are placed in the first group and the minimalists are situated in the second one. According to convergence theory, political jurisprudence has limited validity; In the sense that it can be referred to infer normative rulings (in the two areas of  Conventional Precepts and Five Obligatory Precepts), and in matters such as Jihad, enjoining good and forbidding evil, suicidal operation, political jurisprudence can issue rulings. From this point of view, the argument of those who question the validity of political jurisprudence faces a problem; Just as the maximalists' approach to jurisprudence (and religion) is not without problems. According to convergence's theory, a political jurist cannot create a political system or have a theory of the state. One of the nine pillars of convergence theory is the limited validity of political jurisprudence.
