Abstract
Background and purpose: Culture has found significant applications in the everyday and social life of humans, to the extent that it is difficult to draw a clear boundary around it. The importance and diversity of policies related to culture greatly enhance the necessity of examining and elucidating the viewpoints of Ayatollah Khamenei in this area, considering his position of leadership and jurisprudence. Furthermore, extracting the doctrinal foundations of cultural policies from his perspective will influence their credibility within the elite society and also affect the public's reception of his policies. Since the promotion and survival of a society is based on its culture, Ayatollah Khamenei paid attention to this important matter.
Research method: Researchers have referred to existing resources and published statements to infer the legitimacy of his (Ayatollah Khamenei's) intended cultural policies, and then, using a descriptive-analytical method, have examined the relationship of the aforementioned policies with a number of Islamic jurisprudential rules in his statements.
Findings and results: Ayatollah Khamenei's cultural policies have been proposed under the basic headings of the national-Islamic culture, cultural independence, cultural jihad and cultivation or culture reform. Analysis of these policies shows that they are fully consistent with some jurisprudential rules including the obligation to guide the ignorant, denial of domination, prohibition of harm, the obligation to maintain the Islamic governance system and the sanctity of disrupting it and the rule of maintaining the expediency of the system.
