Grand Ayatollah Sistani – may God grant him long life
Assalam-o- alaikum warahmatullah-e wa barakatuh
What is the opinion of our Marja about Iraqs interim constitution?

Grand Ayatollah Sistani has already clarified his observations on the agreement of November/15th (and maintains) that any law prepared for the transitional period will not gain legitimacy except after it is endorsed by an elected national assembly. Additionally, this law places obstacles in the path of reaching a permanent constitution for the country that maintains its unity and the rights of its sons of all ethnicities and sects.
