Abstract

The Article 52 of the Constitution makes the review and approval of the annual budget of the country within the competence of the Islamic Consultative Assembly. On the other hand, Article 85 of the Constitution considers legislation to be within the competence of the Islamic Consultative Assembly and considers the delegation of the approval of laws to the internal commissions of the Assembly to be possible only under certain conditions. This research by using library studies and adopting an analytical-descriptive approach, in the position of explaining the relationship between the Articles 52 and 85 of the Constitution and the feasibility of approving the budget bill in the internal commissions of the parliament has reached the conclusion that the unauthorized approach to experimental budget approval is legally more robust. The license-based approach for experimental approval of the budget, is based on four axes: "Philosophy of the experimental legislation", "Non-fulfillment of the necessity stated in Article 85 of the budget laws", "Exceptional nature of legislative delegation and suffice to axioms in its interpretation" and "budget allocation based on the provisions of Article 85 of the Constitution". On the contrary, the view of the impermissibility of experimental budget approval is based on "Compatibility in the philosophy of experimental legislation with experimental budget law", "Similarity of budget and other laws in terms of "experimental implementation", "Inclusion of general and exceptional rules of legislation in relation to the budget law" and "Presentation of a new analysis of the phrase "Some Laws ".
