Al-Urwah al-Wuthqa (book)

Urwa al-Wuthqa (Arabic: العروة الوثقي) is a famous compilation of questions on fiqh or Islamic jurisprudence by Mohammed Kazem Yazdi.

[1][2][3] It is considered such a prominent work that many jurists have posed their opinions about the ideas of the book in the form of annotations and commentaries and glosses.

The mentioned book includes diverse chapters of Fiqh, and expresses (Islamic) legal rulings/problems.

[4][5][6] On the whole, Urwa al-Wuthqa consists of 3260 problems[7][8] in three volumes; its first volume includes the matters of Ijtihad and Taqlid, the books of: al-Taharah, al-Salah, al-Sawm, al-E'tekaf, al-Zakat, al-Khoms, al-Haj, al-Ijarah, al-Mudharebah, al-Mazare'ah, al-Musaqat, al-Dhiman, al-Hawalah, al-Nikah and al-Wasiah.

[4] Moreover, Sheikh Abbas Qomi has translated[4][9][10] Yazdi's Urwa al-Wuthqa[11][12][13] into Persian; and another scholar has completed it, and has been published as "Qayatul-Qaswa Fi Tarjomah Urwa-al-Wuthqa"[4]
