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.[4]
This compilation's author is known as the Sahib-Urwa (the owner of Urwa). 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]
The second volume of that consists of: the matters of hypocrisy Hormah (being haram), Iddah matters and its rulings; the book of al-Hibah, the book of al-Waqf; and a small Risalah in Sadaqah Bel-Ma'ni al-Khasah.[4]
The third volume of the book of Urwa al-Wuthqa is included the book of al-Qadha, which has been paid heed by Marjas.[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]
