Abstract
For many years in Iran, the governing institutions have established a deep connection with religion and are Involved socializing people, and they teach men and women how to act in different situations, however, in studies related to gender, research such as investigating the performance of religious subjects in There is no gender socialization and it seems that the importance of addressing this issue comes from here. After the revolution, the name of Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi became famous because of his fatwas and many reactions to women's issues. In addition, a book called "Women in the Interpretation of Samples" has been published by her, which shows that she is trying to become an active activist in building or reproducing a certain gender format. Therefore, in this research, we want to know how a gender template is constructed or reproduced by Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi in a dialectical relationship with the social context. To answer this question, Fairclough's critical discourse analysis method seems appropriate both in method and theoretical approach. The results of the research show us that the desired model of Makarem Shirazi is the reproduction and protection of the same model that Morteza Motahari built in the years leading to the 1357 revolution.
