Ayatollah Khui

As a prominent jurist (Faqih), Ayatollah Khoei’s approach to Islamic law (Sharia) is characterized by meticulous scholarship. His most notable work, “Mukhtalaf al-Shi’ah,” serves as a critical reference, addressing various jurisprudential disputes and offering solutions grounded in traditional sources. This compendium exhibits Khoei’s methodical reasoning and profound familiarity with classical texts, providing a resource for both contemporary scholars and lay practitioners.

Khoei’s jurisprudential framework emphasizes the importance of independent reasoning (Ijtihad). He articulates that scholars must engage with the text critically, invoking the spirit of the law rather than adhering rigidly to precedent. This principle empowers a dynamic interpretation of Sharia, accommodating evolving societal contexts while remaining anchored in timeless ethical values.
