At its core, “Tahrir al-Wasila” is composed of multiple sections, each addressing essential facets of Islamic law (Sharia) adoption and implementation. The text elucidates a meticulous classification of jurisprudential issues, skillfully differentiating between obligatory acts (wajib), recommended acts (mustahabb), permissible acts (mubah), and those that are discouraged (makruh) or forbidden (haram). This categorical delineation underpins Imam Khomeini’s emphasis on clarity and precision in the realm of religious edicts.
The treatise spans topics from worship rituals to social justice, aligning with Khomeini’s broader vision of Islam as a comprehensive way of life. The categorization of jurisprudential principles allows for a systematic approach in addressing complex situations that contemporary Shia Muslims may encounter.
