List of Works by Ibn Fahd al-Hilli

Ibn Fahd’s corpus includes substantial juristic works that explore the foundations and applications of Shia Islamic law (Fiqh). His magnum opus, al-Mahj al-Bayda, conceived as a comprehensive guide, encompasses rites, rituals, and ethical conduct, offering readers detailed explanations of legal principles. Through meticulous reasoning, al-Hilli intertwines rationality with tradition, championing the ethos of ijtihad while adhering steadfastly to divine directives.

An intriguing aspect of his jurisprudential literature is its dialectical nature. Ibn Fahd does not merely convey rulings; he invites the reader into a dialogue. His work appeals uniquely to both scholars and laypersons, prompting them to reflect critically on their practices and beliefs. In this sense, his writings serve as a mirror, reflecting back to the reader their own understanding and encouraging deeper contemplation.
