The Supreme Leader of the Islamic revolution—Imam Khamenei— issued a message, expressing condolences for the passing of the great faqih, the chairman of the Expediency Discernment Council, Ayatollah Hashemi-Shahroudi. Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi-- passed away on Monday, December 24, 2018. 

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The Supreme Leader of the Islamic revolution—Imam Khamenei— issued a message, expressing condolences for the passing of the great faqih, the chairman of the Expediency Discernment Council, Ayatollah Hashemi-Shahroudi. Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi-- passed away on Monday, December 24, 2018. 

The following is the full text of the message: 

In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful, 

"To Allah We belong, and to Him is our return" {Quran; 2:156} 

I received, with sorrow and grief, the news of the passing away of the great faqih, the chairman of the Expediency Discernment Council, Ayatollah Haj Sayyed Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahroudi (May God grant him paradise). This heartbreaking loss, after about a year of fighting with a hard and painful disease, distressed all those who understand his status in wisdom and knowledge, and his valuable services to the Islamic establishment and to the seminaries’ fiqh, principle, and law bodies. 

He was a great scholar in the seminary of Qom and a loyal official with the most important organizations of the Islamic Republic, an influential member of the Guardian Council, and a successful leader in the Expediency Discernment Council, and he left important scholarly works and blessings. 

Additionally, he was the brother of three martyrs, as well as a great friend, disciple and companion of the prominent and imminent martyr, Sayyed Mohammad Baqer Al-Sadr. 

On the passing of this prominent scholar, I would like to express condolences to his honored family, his respectable wife and children and his relatives, as well as the Qom Seminary and his pupils, colleagues and enthusiasts. I ask Allah the Exalted to bestow divine forgiveness and blessings on him and elevate his ranks [in the Heavens] to the highest. 

Sayyid Ali Khamenei

Chairman of Iran’s Expediency Council (EC) Ayatollah Seyed Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi passed away at the age of 70. 

The prominent religious and political figure had suffered acute ill health for months and succumbed to renal and intestinal malfunctions at Khatam ol-Anbiya Hospital in Tehran on Monday. 

He was born in 1948 in the Iraqi city of Najaf, which has hosted many Muslim scholars. 

In Iraq, Ayatollah Shahroudi attended classes held by the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini. 

He fought against the dictatorial rule of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and was jailed and tortured by his forces. He was also one of the founders of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq and was its chairman and spokesman for a while before late Seyed Baqer Hakim. 

Ayatollah Shahroudi traveled to Iran after the victory of the Islamic Revolution to serve as an intermediary between Imam Khomeini and Iraqi scholars and leaders. 

During his lifetime, Ayatollah Shahroudi served in many other crucial positions in the Islamic Republic. 

He took the helm of the Expediency Council in 2017 to succeed late Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. The Expediency Council is mainly responsible for arbitrating between the Iranian Parliament and the Guardian Council, which itself supervises the Parliament. 

Ayatollah Shahroudi also served as the head of Iran’s Judiciary for 10 years. His efforts to speed up due processes and establish close contact with the ordinary people were among the achievements the late cleric was credited for. 

Ayatollah Shahroudi also was a member and vice president of Iran’s Assembly of Experts, which elects and oversees the performance of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution. 

He had been a member of the Guardian Council for years as well. 

Ayatollah Shahroudi published numerous books and articles in various fields, including Islamic Jurisprudence and law. As a religious scholar and teacher, he was well-known for his precise reasoning and robust approaches.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei appointed Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani as the new chairman of Iran's Expediency Council. 

The Leader appointed Amoli Larijani, who currently heads the country's judiciary, as EC chairman in a decree issued on Sunday. Amoli Larijani replaces late Ayatollah Seyed Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi who passed away at the age of 70 this week. 

The prominent religious and political figure had suffered acute ill health for months and succumbed to renal and intestinal malfunctions at Khatam ol-Anbiya Hospital in Tehran on Monday. 

The Expediency Council deals with major strategies and policy lines of the country. It is also vested with the responsibility to resolve differences between the parliament and the Guardian Council over parliament approvals rejected by the GC. 

Also in another decree, the Iranian leader appointed Ayatollah Amoli Larijani as a member of the Guardian Council. 

The Guardian Council is a vetting body tasked with interpreting the Constitution, supervising elections of, and approving of candidates to, the Assembly of Experts, the President and the Parliament, and ensuring the compatibility of the legislation passed by the parliament with the criteria of Islam and the Constitution. 

Ayatollah Amoli Larijani has served two five-year terms as Judiciary chief and is believed to be replaced soon after his second term comes to end later this year.
