The force-free approximation is a very useful method in studies of the global electromagnetic structure of the magnetospheres around the relativistic astronomical bodies. However, its application has almost been restricted to the stationary and axisymmetric configuration. In this work, we remove this restriction and construct a general method for treating the force-free electromagnetic field.
