Grand Ayatollah Lotfollah Safi Golpaygani (born in 1919) is an Iranian Twelver Shia Marja. He was born in Golpaygan, Iran. He has studied in seminaries of Najaf, Iraq under Grand Ayatollah Borujerdi. He currently resides and teaches in the Seminary of Qom, Iran.
He is known for his progressive ideas especially about the participation of the youth. He is a supporter of the Islamic revolution in Iran.
Reacting to remarks by Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar in the holy city of Qom, Golpaygani said in October 2009, that "God's Anger" would be unleashed if Iran appoints women as governors of some provinces. "If some people want to change the principles and values of the revolution without considering the views of clerics, they will face the fury of God and of the people," the Grand Ayatollah said on his website. "They come to Qom, the centre of Shiite Islam, and announce that they will appoint women as governors of some provinces. Do you want to fight with the Quran and the Prophet with such talks that go against sharia?"
