Wasa'il Al-Shia Wasa'il al-Shia, Vol. 1: Ibaadah, Taharah and Wudhu (1,299 Hadith), Book 1, (Hardcover)

<p>"Wasa'il al-Shia" stands as one of the most monumental collections of Shi'i jurisprudential hadith, rigorously documenting every dimension of religious law. Compiled by the illustrious Shaykh Hurr Amili (d. 1693), this encyclopedic masterpiece comprises approximately 36,000 traditions across 30 volumes.</p><p>Driven by the necessity of engaging directly with the explicit words of the Ahl al-Bayt, Shaykh Hurr Amili designed this collection as a complete, self-sufficient constitution for both knowledge and practice. Systematically organized by topic, the work aggregates traditions from reliable and mass-transmitted textual sources, expanding beyond the Four Canonical Books to gather the preserved notebooks of the early faithful.</p><p>Above all, it serves as an unaltered conduit to the Infallibles, offering the greatest gift possible: the ability to base one's religion firmly upon the pristine teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt.</p><p>Volume 1 initiates the overarching Book of Taharah (Purity), establishing the foundational principles required before a believer can engage in formal worship. This volume spans eight cohesive sections, opening with the preface of Shaykh Hurr Amili and an Introduction to Ibaadah (Worship), setting the jurisprudential baseline for all subsequent actions. The text systematically details the elemental tools of physical purification, providing comprehensive rulings on Pure Water, Mixed Water and Used Water, as well as the specific laws governing Remnants and Leftovers. Moving from the elements of purification to the human states that necessitate it, the compilation thoroughly outlines What Invalidates Wudu and the detailed Rulings of Privacy. Finally, the volume concludes with an exhaustive presentation of the chapters on Wudu (Ablution), offering meticulous, step-by-step traditions concerning the minor ritual ablution. This meticulously structured text serves as an indispensable resource for the rigorous study of classical law.</p><p>Translated by the Shia Heritage Foundation, this edition provides researchers, university students, and seminarians with a precise, authoritative text. It stands as an indispensable resource for the rigorous study of classical law and the practical implementation of early jurisprudential doctrine.</p>
