Official Marja Sources vs. Secondary Sites for Fatwa Hujjah

Question

Peace be upon you.
May Allah reward you for your efforts. It was noted in the answer to one of the questions that the source cited was the 'Baqiyatullah' website rather than the Marja’s (religious authority's) official book of fatwas. With all due respect, even if this is a website you trust, it is not considered a binding authority (hujjah) for the follower (muqallid) or an officially recognized reference. Therefore, we kindly ask you to take this matter into consideration.
May Allah grant you success in all that is good.

Answer 1

Peace be upon you, as well as the mercy and blessings of Allah.
We rely on the 'Fiqh of the Wali' (Jurisprudence of the Guardian) section on the Baqiyatullah website in its recent editions. This is because we have been informed by the Office of His Eminence Sayyid Khamenei in Lebanon that this specific section of the website is under their direct supervision. Therefore, it is regarded as though it were issued by the Office directly.
May you continue to be successful in all that is good.
